Testimonials

"Over the course of the summer, I have grown as an electrical engineer in many ways...I could not ask for a more interesting and memorable way to experience how a scientific institution works both in the field and at the office."
- Sears Merrit, 2003

"This internship gave me the chance to get out of a classroom and work with some brilliant engineers in a professional atmosphere. I was able to gain perspective on how things like project development, testing, and production are done. I also was able to see how people work under the stress of meeting deadlines."
- Tom Brimeyer, 2003

"This experience has helped me gain some perspective in my future career goals...I found that the many things that I may have taken lightly during my studies actually do come to practical use. Now, more so than ever am I seriously considering postgraduate studies."
- Florence Manega, 2005

"The internship experience gave me the opportunity to see the application of classroom knowledge to real life engineering practices and the challenges involved. It also exposed me to the research environment which is (and would be) useful in my graduate studies."
-Oluleye Olorode, 2007

"How many summer interns can say that their work space included a C-130 Aircraft? The hardware I designed at NCAR was built and actually installed on the aircraft and used for field experiments. I learned how theory I came into the internship with is translated into real-life engineering practices. Working for NCAR reminded me of why I wanted to become an engineer in the first place."
- Jackie Hibbard, 2007

"Working at EOL provided me with the chance to put my engineering knowledge and skills to the test. I was able to complete a challenging engineering project with the help of great engineers around me. The project was hands on and it offered me a great learning experience; one which I will never forget."
- Drew Leung, 2007
