Well, due to a scheduling debacle and my current lack of engineering experience, I'm looking for a spring/summer Co-op or Internship.
I'm a Mechanical Engineering Major going for Bachelors, Masters, and a Minor in aeronautical engineering. I'd like to do Automotive Aero, but right now I need experience, cause finding a Co-op that specific is kind of a long shot. So do any of you engineers have Co-op's at your company, or do you know of an automotive company that I could look into? Thanks for all of your help. |

I might be able to help out.
Go to www.lockheedmartin.com then click on 'careers', then 'college students' We have an extensive Co-op/intern program. I've hired quite a few Cal Poly students here on the California Central Coast.... |

NASA Ames Research Center in the Bay Area works with Foothill Junior College, I believe. I don't know of other internship programs there, but at least a couple of friends and co-workers of mine started out as interns and are now working full-time at Ames.
I know that doesn't help with the auto send of things. I am told that finding a school with a strong SAE chapter can help a lot there. --DD |

Thanks, Race914. I had thought of Lockhead, I just hadnt checked them out yet, good to know I have an inside connection though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) .
I've also been looking at AMES and the other NASA centers. I'd like to do Auto Aero, but I'm thinking I should just get into Aero somewhere and get some experience, cause getting straight into Auto Aero is pretty hard. |

You can forward it to me at brett.frymire@fcimg.com, and I can show it to the right people. We don't have a co-op program, but we do hire temps, and you can fit into that position. -- brett |

You might try Boeing ... they're up in your neck of the woods (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)
There are several firms who contract with Boeing up there too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

I'm in boeing's web-job-finder thing, but that's somewhat of a long shot I think, cause you're just another resume in the pile. Unless someone on here works for Boeing or knows some people on the inside to get me in the small pile?

I work for Worley Parsons (engineeering Firm), I spent many years with So. Cal Edison, they are always looking for young people like youself. There is a serious worldwide shortage of Engineers so you should'nt have any problem. Good luck. Mike

There is a serious worldwide shortage of Engineers so you should'nt have any problem. Good luck. Mike (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I agree there is a developing worldwide shortage of engineer's. My business is servicing the Power & Utility industry. Most of the engineer's are getting ready to retire & the work force is old. You can't import energy over the pond & energy requirements are growing. With plants & equipment getting old there is a hugh need for qualified people to maintain these plants. I could go on & on, but engineering is the future. My motto: Your future is in your brain. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) I would encourage you to look into the Energy & Water field. It's been good to me. Tom |

I disagree there is a shortage of engineers.
There is a shortage of CHEAP (translated as young) engineers. When you hit 50 as an engineer, your ass is out the door, and you will have great difficulty in finding another job. Why? you are making the big bucks and corporations are all about dropping costs and young engineers work cheap. I've seen it time after time after time and then it happened to me. Coming up with the next generation product and about 15 patents for the product didn't help me. Ken |

I had thought of Lockhead, I just hadnt checked them out yet, good to know I have an inside connection though. It's "Lockheed"!! "The Alco Hydro-Aeroplane Company was established in 1912 by the brothers Allan and Malcolm Loughead. This company was renamed the Loughead Aircraft Manufacturing Company and located in Santa Barbara, California. In 1926, following the failure of Loughead, Allan Loughead formed the Lockheed Aircraft Company (the spelling was changed to match its phonetic pronunciation) in Hollywood, California. In 1929 Lockheed sold out to Detroit Aircraft Corporation." The Great Depression ruined the aircraft market, and Detroit Aircraft went bankrupt. A group of investors headed by brothers Robert and Courtland Gross bought the company out of receivership in 1932. The syndicate bought the company for a mere $40,000. Ironically, Allan Loughead himself had planned to bid for his own company, but had raised "only" $50,000, which he felt was too small a sum for a serious bid. In 1934, Robert E. Gross was named chairman of the new company, the Lockheed Corporation, which was headquartered at the airport in Burbank, California. The company remained there for many years before moving to Calabasas, California." |

Sorry about the spelling of Lockheed, at least I got it right in my cover letter I sent to them! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)
Power generation is also something I'm interested in, espcially some of the new 'green' technologies that are being developed right now. There's a lot of energy out there that we can harness without dirtying up the earth (at least less than coal! sheesh). |

My brother works for on of the Washington power companies, Washington Power and Light? anyway he works for them at a dam in Noxon Montana, again the engineering work force is getting older and they need young people. I work in the oil and gas/energy sector and there are not enough engineers. Mike |

Mike Hi Mike, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) My son is an engineer working for Weatherford Wireline & Loging Services out of Texas & currently in Dubai UAE. He tells me they need young engineer's both in the US & Internationally. I'll say it again look at the energy field. I also suggest checking into Nuclear energy. The future is bright for Nuclear power plants. You will see more Nuclear power plant in our future. BTW: France generates about 70% of their electrical needs with Nuclear. I know, I know it's France, but Nuclear is really safe. Tom (not a tree hugger) |

I'll say it again look at the energy field. Tom (not a tree hugger) I'm definately going to look into energy as well, especially cause my gf's dad works for Florida power and light, and working in florida and staying at my gf's place would be sweet. As for being a tree hugger, i'm not a tree hugger (not a fan of splinters) but I dont think we need to mercilessly hack them all down either. |
