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.

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).

I worked for American Electric Power in Columbus Ohio, they are spending around $3B on new scrubber technology in there fossil plant, a Texas utility has submitted papers to build a 3rd nuclear plant in south Texas. We are getting older I'm 60+ but companies are looking for experience, and I make a very good wage. You go for it boy! There is a great future for you in the energy/oil and environmental. The reason we have so many engineers from China, India etc. is because there is a shortage of engineers and technical people in the US and because of this; they are paying very well. I was in the nuclear power business for 25+ years and also the fossil power industry, now I'm working in the oil and gas sector; I never wanted for anything financially, your posting shows your initiative, keep it going and you will go far.

I always thought it was "Lockmart."

Try Northrop Grumman as well. We also have a summer intern program, there's bound to be some website on it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Green energy and where I work:

www.oceanpowertechnologies.com

The buoy on that front page is mostly my design and is currently deployed off the cost of NJ. Its seeing the remnants of Noel right now, 2.8m 5sec waves, pretty big for how fast they are. Ocean power is just in its infancy but the potential is huge. Where wind was about 20 years ago . . . We are actually putting a buoy off the cost of Oregon near Reedsport along with buoys in HI, Scotland, and Spain.

Probably a bit of a haul for an internship though.

That is really cool Chris. I'll have to read more on that.

Just don't believe everything you read . . . Power output is laughably small but you gotta crawl before you can run!

yeah, the power output for most, if not all, the renewable energy sources is nowhere near that of hydrocarbon processes, but I guess that's the price you pay for being able to breath and your kids having only two arms, legs, and eyes.

I meant it more in terms of the power output is ridiculous small compared to other green energies, compared to the amount of energy that goes into the buoy to make it work, and compared to what the CEO states to the public with regards to the buoy's capabilities.

Believe me, I know how green energies compare to oil/coal/etc. Unfortunately as far as most investors and potential customers are concerned, breathing easy and healthy kids factors very little into cost per kilowatt.

yeah, it seems everyone is more concerned with making everything we use more efficient or green, when we should be emphasizing making OURSELVES more efficient and green.

and no not (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) green. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif)

Hey BahnBrenner914,

I don't mean to be cruel, but I think you have milked this to the end.

It's time to go get a job now!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif)
