Ever since I decided I wanted to study engineering, I've played with the idea of working in the automotive industry. Why? I love vehicles - not just working on them (which is fun), but everything about them from how they work as one big system of systems to different ways to alter the engine for more power or fuel efficiency.
Ford offers a lot of engineering internships. Just in product design alone they're currently listing:
"We are currently looking to hire summer interns in the following areas:
Basic Design
Body Engineering
Chassis Engineering
Connected Services (CSSO)
Design
Digital Innovation (DI)
Electrical & Electronics Systems Engineering (EESE)
Global Engine Engineering (GEE)
Global Product Planning & Strategy (GPPS)
Program Management
Powertrain Engineering (PCCN, PTI)
Transmission & Driveline Engineering (TDE)
Research & Advanced Engineering (R&A)
Sustainable Mobility Technology (SMT) / Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV)
Vehicle Engineering (VE)
Vehicle Evaluation and Verification (VEV)"
I would love to do something like powertrain engineering or transmission & driveline engineering. I'm going to apply for an internship as soon as I reach junior status as required by Ford. Just wondering if anyone knows how difficult it is to get one there?
Also, if I apply for internships does it look bad (like I don't know what I want to do) if I apply for many different internships? Does it increase my chance of getting an internship if I apply for all that interest me?
