Job Posting: Somat Engineering (interns and full time)

Email from Somat Engineering…

Our MTU alumni, Micah Brooks and John Qualey, will be attending the career fair next week for Somat. We have found great success in the individuals we have recruited from there and are hoping to build upon that success. I have attached our internship flyer that we will be handing out at the fair but thought that it would not hurt for you to have a copy also as I imagine many of the students you advise are already looking for opportunities.
In addition to interns, we would be happy to speak with any environmental or geotechnical engineers that will be graduating this winter and looking for full-time work. These positions would be out of one of our metro-Detroit offices (Taylor, Detroit, or West Bloomfield).
Please feel free to reach out to Micah (mbrooks@somateng.com) or John (jqualey@somateng.com).

Email from Alum (Tom Kilpela, Transmission Line Engineer @ POWER Engineers, Inc)

I will be attending the career fair at Michigan Tech this fall on behalf of POWER Engineers. As a graduate of Michigan Tech, I am eager to revisit the campus and talk to students about their future. In our Ann Arbor office, we currently have open internship/co-op and entry level full-time positions for Civil/Structural Engineering students who are interested in working in the Energy/Power Delivery industry. After joining POWER once I finished graduate school in the Spring of 2015, I find the work in the industry to be challenging and rewarding. I also found that Michigan Tech did a great job preparing me for project specific challenges. At POWER, interns and entry level engineers are challenged and given significant responsibility immediately to help develop their careers in this booming industry. POWER Engineers is an employee-owned company and offers a relaxed work atmosphere. POWER is also one of the largest engineering firms within the Power Delivery industry as we have played a role in many projects around the world.  The link to the open positions is located below.

Info Meeting: Study Abroad in The Netherlands (Cycling Infrastructure Course)

 

MTU Flier

Info Meeting: Study Abroad in The Netherlands (Cycling Infrastructure Course)

Thursday, September 20th, 5 pm in Dow 875 

Are you interested in studying abroad, but also want to get a summer internship? How about 16 days of bicycling around the world famous cycling infrastructure in The Netherlands (Netherlands where 27% of ALL their daily trips are made by bicycle and it’s easy riding – it is flat terrain!) where we will study bicycle infrastructure, work with students at a Dutch university, meet professionals who plan and design, and so much more? The course runs (pre-summer) May 19 – June 3 – plenty of time for you to get back for an internship. The course is offered out of the University of Wisconsin-Platteville’s Dept. of Civil & Environmental Engineering Department (by a professor who is a MTU Civil Engineering aluma), yet is available to students at other campuses, such as Michigan Tech, as well.  This course can count toward professional electives for the MTU CEE students.

View the promotional video of the course to catch a glimpse of what you’ll get to experience.

Join us on a 16 day course cycling throughout The Netherlands while studying the world famous cycling infrastructure.
We will spend 16 days bicycling in large cities (Amsterdam, Zwolle, Utrecht, Houten, Rotterdam, Eindhoven) and small towns in The Netherlands. We will work with students and faculty at Windesheim University and professional designers and planners of the amazing Dutch cycling network. We travel within cities by bicycle and between cities using their sophisticated passenger rail system. This course will give you hands on experience using and understanding how a country creates safe cycling infrastructure. 27% of ALL trips in the Netherlands are made by bicycle! Take this course to experience that!
 
Explore The Netherlands in Europe while earning course credit!
*bonus – you can even extend your time in Europe by staying longer…come to the meeting to learn how! Grab your friends and backpack around Europe after the course is over – your airfare may even be cheaper!
Below is a flier that shows the course details. Note that the cost is listed at $3900 per person- this is the ‘high’ cost – as soon as there are at least 8 people signed up (the cap is 12 students), we can purchase our airline tickets and solidify the airfare, which will likely be lower than my budgeted amount.  This cost includes the 3 credit course, round trip airfare from Chicago, 5 day Eurail pass, bicycle rentals, all hotels and hostels, all breakfasts, and bus transfers. Funds not spent will be refunded to you.
