              Internships
              Connecting students with companies offering internships

              Internship programs (for credit)

              Internships send AIT students to the front lines to watch and work alongside professional engineers and researchers in order to learn how they carry out their work and grapple with problems on a daily basis. These programs are designed not only give students a firsthand experience with real-world engineering practices, but also help them mature into well-rounded professionals with opportunities to consider their own future aptitudes and abilities. Every department offers internships as electives for credit.
              Benefits to students
              1. Students get a creative and practical education that goes beyond classroom learning
              2. Students learn exactly what they need to do, increase their motivation to study, and hone their skills
              3. Students get clearer about their professional aptitudes and career plan
              4. Students get a real sense of what is required in their profession, so they have a realistic idea of what they’re getting into during their job-search activities
