2024 Summer Internship Opportunity – Corning Incorporated, Wilmington NC

Corning Incorporated is seeking a diverse set of majors (including mechanical engineers), as the fiber-making process encompasses and requires a wide range of skillsets.

They strive to choose intern projects that are engaging, challenging, and business critical, but the internship experience here at our Wilmington facility is not completely work-oriented. Throughout the summer, interns will get to take part in many social, networking, and community involvement events, all located 15 minutes from Wrightsville Beach and our historic downtown riverfront. Additionally, intern housing is included.

 

‘Pop’ In to Say Hi – MAE Community Event

You will need to start out in the UPO (125 Upson) to receive a bag to collect the goodies and will also receive a slip of paper with the various locations you can go around MAE.

Seniors – Donate iClickers/Calculators

Hey seniors!

If anyone still has an iClicker and/or calculator laying around and doesn’t need it anymore, please consider donating it to the MAE Undergrad Office!

My goal is to continue Kae’s free iClicker rental program (and add in calculators) that she begin at the beginning of this academic year – which was able to help over 100 students receive a free iClicker. We do get requests from students for iClickers and calculators each year.

This is a wonderful program to try to help other students cut costs.

If you’re interested in dropping off your iClicker, please reach out to me or drop them off at the Undergrad Office (125 Upson)
