Student Tips for Success During Your Engineering Internship

This page presents tips from three graduating seniors from Penn State on how to achieve success in your engineering internship. The three students, all of whom are mechanical engineers, are Kristen Einthoven, Adam Albert, and Kirby Perosa. All three students have had multiple internships during their time at Penn State and all three were members of Utree (Undergraduate teaching and research experiences in engineering). The film on the right presents overall advice for your engineering internship, and the two films below discuss how to create effective slides for an internship presentation, even when the company is locked into using PowerPoint's weak defaults.
