Re: Internships
Really, you just have to put yourself out there.
During my Junior year, I interned with Qualcomm in their Engineering department. It was absolutely fascinating!
In fact, I write you now from my full-time senior-year internship at SPAWAR (Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center). I'm currently working in the Unmanned Systems (a.k.a. Robotics) Branch, doing research for a Navy contract.
Really, companies like this are always looking for help from students, because each one is a valuable prospective employee. Find local companies that have past connections with your school! SPAWAR is heavily involved in one of the Robotics labs at UCSD, so there are constantly students from their engineering program here at the base.
Don't be afraid to ask, the worst someone can say is no.
