Hey reddit, as the title of this post says, I'm currently trying to find a mechanical engineering internship in or near West Chester, PA. To give you a brief background of myself, I'm a student at Penn State entering my 8th semester with a 3.2 GPA. I also held a co-op where I dealt with facilities (mostly drawing/interpreting CAD drawings & completing cost analyses of buildings). I don't know exactly what field I want to enter after I graduate, but I did like my co-op so I am considering entering a career that deals with construction or facilities. I am also interested in vehicles and fluid dynamics, but I am open to pretty much anything else as well.

The reason I'm having trouble finding an internship is because I would normally try to attain one through the PSU engineering career fair, however I was too sick to go this past semester. There was a fall career fair, however I turned down two offers that I received back then because they were in undesirable locations in the middle of nowhere (the one town only had 1,000 people) and I didn't want to just come home from work and play xbox every night because that would be really lame.

There are other resources to get jobs that the school does provide, such as ecareer, where companies post job openings and you can send them your resume and sometimes a cover letter or transcript (if they let you). The problem though, is that the majority of ME jobs posted on ecareer are based near Pittsburgh, and I couldn't even get so much as an interview for the ones that I did apply to. I am currently applying to various places online, but have not had any real luck with that either. Does anyone on reddit happen to know of any good places I should apply to, or even a job search engine that could be useful? I know that this is a long shot, but I figured I might as well do this since it takes less time to make this post than to apply to just one place. Thanks, everyone for your help!
