For students, engineering internships provide a challenging variety of work. For industry, the internships are primarily designed to find future employees with desired talents.<br> &nbsp;<br> "Each engineering company searching for talent, however, must evaluate whether sponsoring a senior design project at a university, or offering internships, or both, fit the company’s needs. Senior design projects are capstone courses where students design, fabricate, and operate a technical instrument while learning systems engineering procedures and training their soft skills. Sponsoring projects supports the universities’ quest for excellence and would satisfy industries’ need to select talent from a large pool of students..."</p> <p class="lead"><a href="https://www.asme.org/topics-resources/content/workforce-blog-developing-career-skills-through-design-projects" rel="nofollow">Read the full blog at ASME.</a></p></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div>Traditional</div> <div>0</div> <div>On</div> <div>White</div> Mon, 03 Aug 2020 16:20:30 +0000 Anonymous 4081 at /aerospace
