Research & Internships

MGE students graduate with the technical and professional skills to succeed. They are career ready, often landing jobs with the companies with which they’ve interned.

In addition to working at mining companies and with consultants and in the San Xavier underground mining lab, undergraduates do research and design projects.

Pivotal Internships

All College of Engineering students are strongly encouraged to complete at least one industry internship – many of which are paid – typically for course credit. Most MGE students do multiple internships.

Visit the UA Engineering website for extensive information on the college’s internship program and tips for landing your dream job. 

Exciting Research Opportunities

Work with esteemed faculty and dedicated graduate students on MGE research.

Join a faculty project or start your own via the University of Arizona’s undergraduate research opportunities. 

Exceptional Design Projects

The UA Engineering Design Program is key to career readiness. This yearlong experience helps ensure students are ready for the workplace and opens doors to employers.

MGE seniors complete discipline-specific capstone projects, often creating real-world models and products, some of which are patented and commercialized, for industry and academic clients. 

Present your project at Design Day – arguably the most exciting college event of the year, besides graduation. Impress industry partners, see how professional engineers rate your work, and win prizes and public recognition.
