Hey zilvia, (I don't know if this is the right area, mods feel free to move it.)

I am a sophomore/junior undergraduate student at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology studying mechanical engineering and physics as a double major. If you have never heard of my school, that's okay. We keep a low profile but we have been number one in undergraduate engineering for the last fourteen consecutive years. We output hundreds of engineers each year and have found our place in the Midwest.

I come to you because I am tired of the big name, faceless companies that come to our career fair asking for us to sit behind desks and design parts without actually doing any hands on work. I have worked for Nook in the R&D department last summer designing some equipment for them and now I'm looking for an opportunity for this summer. I am interested in a summer internship in a fabrication / design for this coming summer of 2013.

I have recently found myself becoming interested in the automotive field and everything that it involves. I spend my free time on this forum and others like it finding out everything I can, but I just don't think that I can get the same level of experience as I could if I was put into a fabrication shop. I want to learn, design, and build products for cars and real customers. If this is really something that I'm interested in then I feel like i should probably get a taste before I'm out there looking for a job in a few years.

Any response is welcome and I will respond the best I can in a timely manner. I do have a resume that is being updated for those who request one.

TL;DR: Rose-Hulman mechanical engineering and physics double major is looking for a summer internship in fabrication and design.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from anyone.
