Learn by Doing: Progress through weekly topics, building skills in both software and structural analysis, then apply them to real-world project work.

Work with Experts: Join project and department meetings to see how engineering decisions shape major construction projects.

Contribute to a Project: By the end of the internship, apply your knowledge directly on a live project under the guidance of a licensed Professional Engineer (P.E.).
