- "My internships have honestly played a big role in helping me fall in love with electrical engineering... I've also noticed that my internship experience has started to connect back to what I'm learning in the classroom, which has made everything feel a lot more real and applicable. Overall, the hands-on experience has helped me grow into a more confident and well-rounded engineer, and it's definitely made me more prepared for future opportunities." — Alexa Patberg, '27 Eng (EE)
- "I always knew I wanted to work in a hands-on role in the space industry. Each internship and co-op experience brought me closer to a position that combined these interests.
