Students are responsible for seeking out and applying for internships, but we offer a lot of guidance and resources. Working with their academic advisor, the ENGW internship supervisor, and with Araceli Perez-Ramos <aracelip@stedwards.edu>, students can often find an internship that matches their interests and potential professional goals. Below are some internships that students have enjoyed in previous semesters. Feel free to discuss with the ENGW internship supervisor any interesting opportunities that you come across through social media or through family or professional contacts. We can often work with an employer to structure an appropriate internship opportunity.
