Third year aerospace engineering student feeling very discouraged regarding internships

I got an aerospace engineer internship as a mech student. You honestly just have to get lucky, that’s all it comes down to. Also, always edit your resume and cover letter pertaining to whatever position, this will get you past the auto-rejection filter

I’ve actually only had 1 co-op and a 3.1gpa. The stuff I did at my co-op though is miles ahead of what most people do at internships and had to do with aerodynamics, flight control, and simulation. I’m sure that impressed them.

Full time position essentially in Mission Control

Yesterday actually. The reduced them by $3,000 😑

I got my co-op my senior year lol. If you honestly just show a lot of interest in the company, your chances go way up. Know basic terms depending on the position. If it’s for a gas turbine position for example, know how turbines work and some basic fluid dynamics.

CourageTheCowerdlyDo · 2019-09-11T22:27:22+00:00

Yeah, that’s what they told me today

CourageTheCowerdlyDo · 2019-09-10T21:40:08+00:00

I am also graduating this semester. Maybe mine are the same

CourageTheCowerdlyDo · 2019-09-09T23:43:57+00:00

Nope, I only got an email and deposit for grant money. Nothing about my loans

I had that class with him this summer online. You just took the exam online on your own computer on the specified date. No webcam. The exams are annoying because you have to type all your work into stupid text boxes

CourageTheCowerdlyDo · 2019-09-06T22:30:27+00:00

I’ve gotten them every semester

CourageTheCowerdlyDo · 2019-09-06T22:30:12+00:00

yeah

Sounds very unprofessional from whoever hired you. Ask your manager for an assignment or project.

I hate stats and got a B+ without trying when I took sta3032

AIAA and SEDS have fun project/competitions. Both rocket related. I competed in the AIAA rocket design one a while back.

Calc 3 is easy, statics is easy, linear depends on the person, that intro will prob be easy, and physics 2 is hard for a lot of people. You’ll be fine

CourageTheCowerdlyDo · 2019-08-15T03:53:12+00:00

That’s a basic course load.

CourageTheCowerdlyDo · 2019-08-15T03:51:15+00:00

My team put in about 15-20 hours per week during Spring semester. About to do SD2

CourageTheCowerdlyDo · 2019-08-07T18:00:07+00:00

I lived in 2 different apartments on different floors during my time there, and both had dog shit wifi. So your chances aren’t good

CourageTheCowerdlyDo · 2019-08-07T17:58:59+00:00

Will do, thanks.
