See what people are saying about our First-Year Internship Program!
The most rewarding part of my internship was making connections with the other students in the lab, some of whom will be my T.A.s in future years. I also enjoyed how much independence the program offered – I was able to run my experiments and analyze them almost completely by myself.

I’m doing, like, incredible things which I never thought I would ever be able to do. Another thing which I found has been really rewarding is the workplace connections I’ve made.
100% I would recommend. It’s gonna be tough at the start, there’s gonna be difficulties that they will encounter, but I think for first years, there’s nothing that gives you as much experience as this. In terms of being an actual workplace experience, it’s a big jump ahead for you, and making your connections. I think it’s what makes the Carleton Civil and Environmental Engineering program pretty rewarding and unique in terms of all the programs in Ontario.
