Internship Highlight: Andres M. completed a Summer 2023 internship with the Blue Origin as a Materials & Process Engineer intern. Here are some of his insights: "This experience has reaffirmed my commitment to pursuing a career in the aerospace industry and has given me glimpses into exciting possibilities that I may pursue with my degree. Being exposed to high-level meetings and conversations has shown me how I may transfer that type of professionalism into the classroom. The most rewarding aspect was the chance to see directly how the skills I acquired at UTEP were put to use has been the most rewarding part. It has been really motivating to watch fascinating ideas from my studies come to life in the design, development, and testing of aerospace technologies." TIPS FOR YOU: Some advice I would give other students considering an internship includes: 1. Embrace curiosity 🤔: Approach the opportunity with an open mind and willingness to learn new applications outside the university. Be proactive in seeking the opportunity to participate in various projects, teams, and technologies. 2. Flexibility 🕺: Understand that the aerospace industry is constantly changing, so being able to adapt and be flexible under unexpected situations is a valuable skill. 3. Network🤝: Establishing meaningful connections is a vital part of an internship. There is going to be numerous opportunities to meet with other professionals in your field, so being able to build conversations of common interests is important. This will provide insight into different career paths, expand your network and potentially lead to future job opportunities." Great job, Andres! Go Miner Interns!
