Re: Internship Opportunities for FIRSTers

UTC likes FIRST Students: Buzz #175 mentors helped me with these two positions:

Hamilton Sundstrand Engine Systems - Joint Strike Fighter, Pratt&Whitney Jet Engine Electronic Controls, Project Group

Hamilton Sundstrand Space Systems Intl - NASA Space Suit, Project Group
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Northeastern Co-op advisors already had contacts at these companies, but FIRST helped a lot in my interviews & job offers:

DEKA - iBOT QA
(yea, I think it's one of Dean Kamen's preferences to have FIRST students work at his company... it certainly helped)

Next Year? Well, I'm addicted aerospace, so NASA is first on my list:
Kennedy Space Center seems promising (crossing fingers )

p.s. I was talking to the manager who hired me for HSSSI yesterday, he commented about co-op: "if I see two resumes with the same kind of acedemic performance, one has related work experience and one does not, the offer usually always goes to the candidate with related experience."

FIRST is that 'related experience' when you're starting to look for internships, so consider yourself a step ahead. I'd say... keep doing internships but it'll be a gradual process. However, by the time college is over (four internships maybe?), you'll have a pretty impressive resume.
