\u201cInternships allow insight to real-world experiences away from a protected classroom environment.\u201d Michael Campbell, mechanical engineering technology student, said after his summer internship at Indium Corporation.<\/p>\n

Campbell, a senior at SUNY Poly, interned at Indium Corporation of America as an Engineered Solder. Indium Corporation received over 200 applications for the twelve positions available and Campbell considers himself fortunate to have been selected. Campbell\u2019s internship provided him with hands-on experience, as he describes in his responsibilities, \u201cmy main objective of the summer was to characterize some of Indium’s array of solder alloys. I was involved in many processes including; casting, prepping, and testing different solder specimens.\u201d Campbell, with the assistance of Robert Jarret, Manufacturing Process Engineer and Material Science Professor at SUNY Poly, developed and implemented proper testing procedures to yield results for each mechanical and physical property.<\/p>\n

This project had never been attempted at Indium Corporation, and while it was challenging, Campbell found the challenge to be one of the most rewarding parts of his internship. He applied his educational background and ingenuity to overcome these challenges and to achieve adequate results.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis internship helped build my resume, expand my network of professionals, and experience real-world scenarios that apply to my field of study and to my future career, \u201c said Campbell, \u201cthis experience was invaluable.\u201d After completing his degree Campbell plans to take the engineering fundamentals exam and find a full-time job. He is also considering pursuing a master\u2019s degree.<\/p>\n

Campbell encourages other students to pursue internships, as they are valuable learning experiences. \u201cThis experience has helped me to grasp the idea that it is not necessary for me to leave the area to find a great job in my field of study. Great jobs are present here in the Mohawk Valley.\u201d<\/p>\n
