Two Hundred Hour Internship for a Las Vegas Convention Sales Department

Managing a student internship: auditors looking to hire temporary help may want to consider their local college or university as a source of potential candidates

During the summer before my senior year in a public high school, I accepted an internship in a civil engineering department at a local university. This position required me to develop educational materials for K-12 programs. I had to build lab models to illustrate math and science principles with engineering applications, as well as write the lab manual that included objectives, hypotheses, and questions. These materials were to be used in middle schools in the 2006–2007 school year. An engineering internship has many benefits for a high school student: interning looks great on college applications; internships should mean more to most college admission offices than working at a restaurant or a store; not many students intern before college, and this shows commitment and interest in a certain subject; and most important is the knowledge and experience gained from the internship. As an intern I had to apply the subject that I had learned in school to new types of activities. Interning helps a student learn concepts that can be applied to classes at school, like math and science, or the specific field of the internship. Additionally, the material will be beneficial in college. Gaining knowledge and hands-on experience provides knowledge of that particular subject as a possible career path. Developing the material for the middle school required use of concepts that I had learned in my high school classes, such as how to calculate friction and velocity. My understanding of those topics was shallow compared to what I learned from this internship. The activities in which I was involved gave me greater insight into topics covered in my high school classes. When I was first asked to perform a lab on friction I was instantly confused by the concepts that I did not fully understand. But in developing the lab, I learned the concepts that I had not grasped in my classes. I also learned many new things that I did not learn in school. For example, I learned about the earthquake proofing of buildings and the way that robots work. It is the opportunity to learn new concepts and reinforce subjects covered in school that makes interning a valuable experience. Developing problem-solving skills are crucial to an internship, and interning really helps those skills develop. In my internship, my task was to develop ways to help teach middle school children about certain aspects of math and science. Once an idea was developing, we needed to find ways to build or construct a model for testing. This required patience and problem-solving skills. When the first model did not work and redesigning was necessary, then creative thinking was required. First, reasons why the activity did not work had to be identified and then an alternative solution was generated. For example, with a lab on estimation of slopes, the angle indicated by the equipment was completely different from the angle that we calculated from the rise and run. We realized that the setup was not consistent and was unstable. So we developed a new setup that was more accurate, which produced results closer to the theoretical values.
