BAEM Advising Guide
AEM Intern Program
The Aerospace Engineering Intern Program provides students with an industrial experience during their junior and senior years. This experience helps students gain an understanding of an engineer’s role in industry while earning technical elective credits.
Students apply for the Intern Program at the time they apply for upper division. Students applying for the program should have a 2.7 or better GPA. Intern Program job opportunities are posted in Akerman Hall as they are received.
Students pursue the job opportunities they are interested in, acquire a position, then register for the AEM 4796: Professional Experience (3 credits can be repeated and replace a technical elective) course for the semester(s) they are on work assignment.
To register for AEM 4796 stop in107 Akerman Hall after you have applied to the Intern program. Please bring a copy of your signed application. The course grade is based on a written report due at the end of each work assignment. Work assignments may be full or part time during the Fall or Spring semester or over the summer.
The Intern Program may prolong the time it takes to get an AEM degree because most required AEM courses are offered only once per academic year. Students must work with their advisor to minimize this impact.
