Hi, I just finished my sophomore year in EE and I had a quick question: how many students get internships after their sophomore year?
Currently, I have a overall 3.2 GPA overall, and a 3.7 GPA in my EE & CS classes (about 5 of them so far). I applied to a lot of internships, got a few calls, even a few on-site ones, though didn't get any. I have a few questions:
1) I might have a good chance with this one company, that focuses on materials engineering (alumnium). However, the division I would be working in would be the "Packaging" division. It packages things like pharmaceuticals, beauty products, and other miscellaenous things. It's more of an industrial engineering internship... even though its not really related to my field OR really not that interesting to me, should I take it?
I'm currently doing research (more biomedical engineering oriented) with my school, but I'm unsure what to do. I'd rather be doing things, but it's not in a company setting. Any advice?
2) I'm also taking a summer class, Calculus III. It ends in two weeks. I have two months, basically ONLY doing research. I just e-mailed a CS professor to help TA a class, so I might do that (not to put on my resume, but I love tutoring). What else can I do to make this a productive summer? I've also picked up a book on PERL, to learn on my own.
