Hey guys,

I know there are a few of you on here that are mechanical engineers. I am a mechanical engineering student at Cal Poly and am looking for a internship while I am home for the summer. I have contacted a few places, but in trying to get a good shot at finding something I figured finding a few more ideas wouldn't hurt.

Can anybody recommend any companies from past experience or better yet, anyone know of any opportunities at the companies they are currently working for?

+1 I would like to know as well. ME student at SJSU.

 

My friend just graduated from SLO.... he's a mech engineer and works in martinez at a refinery by the carquinez bridge i think. ill try to find out what the name is. He interned there for a year then they offered him a job after.

What do you want to do? Are you looking to do Engineering design or just looking to work in an engineering environment?

I work for SRI International and there are plenty of summer internships at my company.

The group I work in is Instrumentation & Simulation Systems. We have a training system for the military and work with the guard during their last major training exercise before deployment to Iraq or Afghanistan.

If you get a summer internship in our group, you will be on travel all summer at usually 2 or 3 different training locations in the US.

You have your food, lodging and rental car paid for.

Most of our employees are Cal Poly SLO or Harvey Mudd College people.

 

how do you like ME so far? I was looking into that major and even visited calpoly one year since I wanted to go there for it, but might end up going sjsu

 

If you can get into the super impacted Cal Poly Engineering program you will not regret it. Excellent technical education, with hands on labs.

Awesome city to live in during your college experience. Wish I could move back there.

 

My lady works for bae systems in santa clara, there a department of defense co. They will be at your school on January 29th.

 

what year are you? why dont you wait for our career fairs. i think there is one coming up soon. best place to get an internship imo.

cal poly = learn by doing

 

how many people on here go to cal poly ftw

 

OP, PM me your resume, I work for an Energy Efficiency Consulting firm and we usually have openings for Engineering Interns

 

i saw your car over xmas break at a collision repair shop. i forgot to post about it. what happened to your car?

 

off topic but i live in slo and we should get a meet going i see WRX's everywhere

 

CPSU FTW

CPSU. . . .
Ever seen those shorts at the on-campus gym?

Haha

 

Thanks for all replies guys. I will be sure to keep my eye out for some of the companies mentioned thus far at the job fair.



off topic: There is an informal car club called the Central Coast Car Club. It is mostly Cal Poly students, but there are handful of others from the SLO area. There are a couple of subarus including mine, but we are always looking for more. There is a smallish meet some Tuesday nights at the Starbucks near Madonna and 2+ hour group drives around once a month that end with lunch or dinner (usually we get about 8-12 cars on the drives).

Group activities/information can be found on the google group. It is a work in progress as we just switched from a facebook forum to google groups this week and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet... If you are interested in joining mention my name in the optional comment box when you join and make sure you put your name instead of an email handle or else the moderator might disregard it as spam.
