Summer is a time for rest, relaxation and growth. For Cockrell School of Engineering students, it’s also a time to get their feet wet working for large companies, government entities and other organizations. For these students, it’s internship season.

We asked our Texas Engineering students about their summer internship plans. See below to learn more about where these 23 interns for 2023 will be spending their summers, from programs at UT Austin to TxDOT; SpaceX to PepsiCo. and more.
