Qualification
Required
College sophomore, junior, senior, masters and PhD level students
Excellent grades
Strong work ethic
Strong desire to accomplish goals
Hands-on approach to engineering; an interest in learning how to tool and machine designs, have an iterative approach, and the curiosity to see a project through to completion
Thorough understanding of their engineering coursework in school; we find interns that exercise and utilize fundamental engineering principles are successful
Preferred
A portfolio showing their own designed and built complex engineering projects (If your academic coursework is more team based, we're interested in how and what you contributed)
Participation in a club or activity where teamwork and collaboration are emphasized - whether it's First Robotics in High School, a Society of Engineers, Formula SAE, SAE Baja, SAE Aero, or a non-engineering interest, we're interested in how you interact and engage with others, build upon ideas, collaborate, and work through challenges as a team
Some experience using computer aided design software packages. Although Carnegie Robotics primarily uses SolidWorks, experience in Unigraphics, Creo, Fusion 360, Autodesk Inventor, or similar is helpful
