"I highly recommend you join the Graduate Internship Program for Engineering and Computer Science. The program itself helped me save a lot of time on seeking good and suitable internship opportunities, especially when I had a busy semester. The staff in this internship program helped me to figure out what to do on each step as a zero-local-working-experience international student. I also really enjoyed the working environment in the organization, PeriGen, because everyone is helpful, patient, and willing to give you a good guidance. They care about what to learn and how to develop skills instead of how much work can be done. The program also made my future career path clearer to me. Thanks GrlPECS!"

"Being an Acoustics intern at Airbus Canada, I had the privilege to work on some very cool projects. I had the opportunity to delve into App Designing architecture and migration from previous design environments. This internship pushed me to learn about acoustics data manipulation and the acoustic survey process. Collaborating with highly experienced engineers allowed me to gain an 'Engineer's Perspective' on problem-solving. Continuous support through the Graduate Internship Program enabled me to fully engage in this experience, developing crucial skills and nurturing my passion within the aerospace industry."

"My internship at the [National Research Council Canada] focused on the design and fabrication of bioinspired architectured ceramics using both subtractive and additive manufacturing methods. It was a truly immersive and intellectually stimulating experience that allowed me to delve into the cutting edge of materials science. Throughout the internship, I had the privilege of working with a highly knowledgeable and collaborative team. Their expertise and guidance were invaluable in shaping my understanding of materials science and advanced manufacturing techniques. The environment was conducive to learning, and I was encouraged to ask questions and explore new ideas. I am grateful for the opportunity and the knowledge I gained during my time at the organization."
