Internship E

Edwards Finance > Electrical Engineering

Q. I am interested in doing my 3rd internship in Japan or USA.Since I know what is going on in Europe, I thought I could give it a shot and get a different approach and see how these guys are doing in my field.I know that there are companies working specificly on these kinds of trainee matching stuff but most of them are not able to arrange a detailed and well researched engineering internship.I have both practical and theoretical background on IT/IS topics beneath my EE skills and I do have a company specialized on ethical hacking,penetration testing and reverse engineering.I prefer to work on DSP,mixed-signal IC,PSoC,microcontrollers and embedded systems.I have work experience abroad both geographically and cultural.Personal details and other necessary information are in my resume which is supplied upon request. As a result, where can you recommend ? Anyone experienced on having engineering internship abroad ? Suggestions for procedure ?

A. -Come on,at least some of you should come up with an opinion relevant ? This is mit piclist,and the tag is EE -> it's almost impossible that this post is not being replied.Ohh yea I got it,it's just that you have personel issues with me -Your post seemed more to brag about what you have done, and you asked few real questions. Where to look: any place hiring interns (good luck with the visa and all) Engineering internship abroad: The only people I know who have done it are ceramic engineers. Procedure: Contact a company hiring people and hope they want you enough to help you get a visa? -> As a result, where can you recommend ? Don't have any recommendations. > Anyone experienced on having engineering internship abroad ? Nope. Never did an internship at all, nevermind abroad. > Suggestions for procedure ? If people don't respond to a question, instead of assuming that they know the answer and are purposefully ignoring you, assume one or more of the following: 1. The question is not clear, concise, or focussed 2. No one has anything helpful to contribute, and you really don't want to see 2000 "Don't know" responses to every single question on the list. You will find, however, that the US (and Canada, but to a lesser extent) is not as "international" as Europe. Very few companies actively put together or support internships meant for those outside the country. You may find that your best bet is to do all the legwork, and apply for a regular internship emphasizing that you'll do everything required to meet VISA requirements, forms, paperwork, etc. Still, it's a larger burden on HR than normal, and if they've not done it before they'll likely refuse simply based on the fact that they don't have to in order to get interns. It's not too different from why many companies in the US refuse to ship internationally. "We've never done it before, we don't need to in order to maintain our profitability, and we don't anticipate that we'll get enough reward to cover the perceived costs and risks." You might target those companies that are based in Europe of have a Europoen presence with offices in the US. Atmel, for instance, would probably not have this issue. -plus your expectation is probably a little high. I don't think it is likely that a lot of people have experience with out-of-country internships. That's a more likely reason no one has responded, rather than people having issues with you. Also very few emplyers are liable to be interested in the hassle of obtaining a visa for a student. We did this once as a favor to the CTO of a company we bought, for his son. It took several months to obtain said visa. Not the easiest thing in the world. This is is something you really have to persue on your own if you are interested. Your university might be able to help. But if I were you, I wouldn't get my hopes up due. Especially not with the attitude "oh, I can't believe no one is helping me, they must not like me" Please take this as constructive criticism. Attitudes like that are a sure way to create those 'personal issues' you complain about.
