senior mechanical engineer, major at Alabama, A&M university
here in Huntsville, Alabama. Internships provide
opportunities for college
students such as myself
to gain hands on experience as well as valuable skills to ensure that we are
career ready upon graduation. Erin Lanigan
I'm a materials engineer on the Nondestructive evaluation
team at NASA's Marshall. In our team
it's always hands on. There's definitely opportunities
for whatever they want to work
on, whether that's
additive manufacturing,
nondestructive evaluation. Working behind the scenes,
working hands on. There's something for everybody working with in terms of just a fresh
perspective on our projects, a new set of eyes
looking at things that we might look
at differently from their point of view. Post-Graduation. I'm aiming to secure a mechanical engineer role
within the aerospace industry. I'm Matthew McDougall. I'm the Nondestructive evaluation
team lead at NASA's Marshall. I enjoy helping people lea
rn
and I can use the experience that I've gained
through my NASA career to help the Artemis generation
learn. It's important to have interns
both for us and for them. It gives them an opportunity to learn
and get hands on experience. It's also important for us to have a pipeline of future
teammates. Interns
bring a fresh perspective and excitement
for their career field, and they expose us to new things
that we haven't yet applied
to some of our challenges. So the most valuable thing
that I gain
ed from my internship of Marshall Space Flight Center was the importance
of mentorship. Without mentorship,
I do not believe I would have been able to accelerate and pick up contacts
as fast as I did without them being able
to guide me along the way.
