    Bait and switch? (GE internship position)

    melone: While I told my interviewer what type of work I'd be interested in doing, I never used the word "expect." For that reason, had GE originally approached me with the Cost Out job I mentioned above, I wouldn't have held it against them. (I would've even accepted their offer if nothing...

    Bait and switch? (GE internship position)

    melone: rather than take the bait here, let me just say that I currently lack the experience necessary to correctly identify "real engineering work," and I would not be able to do it if I happened upon it. I wasn't trying to project a sense of entitlement, nor to downplay the work that an...

    Bait and switch? (GE internship position)

    Thank you all for your input.

In the graduate program, the student works...

    Importance of a CoOp / Advice requested

    IRstuff: That's a great suggestion. I will look for a CoOp that ties into my research. That might also help make the idea more palatable to my advisor. Greg: That was my thinking, as well, regarding my Physics degree. The problem is probably compounded by the fact that I'm in the mechatronics...

    Importance of a CoOp / Advice requested

    I have a B.S. in Physics and am halfway through an M.S. in Mechanical Engineering. My grades are good and I've conducted a fair amount of research as a student, but I've never participated in a CoOp or internship. In talking to other students, I've come to the conclusion that my lack of "real...
