CETA Students Are Industry-Focused
The College of Engineering, Technology, and Architecture (CETA) prepares you for the most challenging and rewarding internships that enhance traditional classroom and laboratory education with work opportunities. Internships provide the opportunity for students to apply their academic education while allowing them to obtain the practical experience necessary to perform successfully in today’s world.
CETA students work with their faculty advisor, CETA Assistant Dean and/or the Office of Career Services to assist in identifying an appropriate internship, clarifying job expectations, and granting academic credit for the internship experiences, as appropriate. CETA also works closely with the Career Services to assist students with networking, resume building and more.
This summer, many of our students will be embarking on their first (and for some—second!) internship at companies including:
- General Dynamics Electric Boat
- QA+M Architecture
- Pro Audio Design
- Eversource
- Bauer Inc.
- Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL)
- Lane Construction
- Powerstation Events
Employers and students can post and apply for internship opportunities directly through the Allan Center for Career and Professional Development.
Two CETA Students Intern Together at Cerami & Associates
Jack Breton ’21, a mechanical engineering major with acoustics concentration, and Nate Cromie ’20, an acoustical engineering and music major worked together as acoustics interns at Cerami & Associates NYC during the summer of 2019. As acoustics Interns at Cerami & Associates in New York City, they worked with acoustical consultants on a variety of building projects. Specifically, they learned about the processes behind taking acoustical measurements, analyzing data, reviewing architectural and mechanical drawings, completing appropriate calculations, and testing acoustical properties of structures.
"Applying acoustical concepts learned in the classroom to the field of acoustical consulting has been an invaluable experience. Concepts we learn at UHart are used on a daily basis in this field,” Jack says.
Ivana Milanovic, Professor of Mechanical EngineeringWhile NASA internships are notoriously competitive for students to secure, the structure of UHart’s mechanical engineering and acoustics programs equips our future engineers with skills that are currently of great interest to NASA.
Zamir Primus
Mechanical Engineering, 2023
Build and design has always been a passion of Zamir Primus ’23. Primus accepted an internship at Turbine Controls, an FAA-approved aircraft repair station that works on the engines for major aircraft like Boeing 737s, Airbus A320s, and even F-35 supersonic fighter jets.
From day one of the internship, Primus has been immersed in the engineering field, personally modeling components and getting hands-on experience with engine parts. Part of his responsibilities includes researching specifications of masking products that can withstand chemical exposure at hundreds of degrees. Read more.
I met the CEO and COO on my third day, and I work directly under one of the company executives. My work greatly impacts the important projects he is working on.
