Metallurgical Engineering ​Internships
 
Metallurgical Engineering is the study of metals. Combining theory and practice, degree programs cover the mining, extraction, design and processing of metals, as well as how metals react to environmental changes or stress. Metallurgists use their specialised knowledge of the chemical and physical properties of metals and minerals to extract them from their natural ores, and further refine them through processes such as casting or alloying. An intern in this field might be involved in research related to these subjects.

Robotic Engineering ​Internships
 
Robotic Engineers create robots and robotic systems. During a Robotic Engineering internship, interns may be involved with:
  • Assembling, testing and demonstrating ways to improve design of the positioning stage.
  • Unmanned aerial vehicle design and development.
  • Taking care throughout the electronic design and the classifiers so as to be as low compute cost and as 'energy efficient' as possible.
  • Field testing: implement robots and monitoring them for breakdowns and glitches.
