Get Your Hands Dirty and Learn How to Make Stuff

Bowden Manufacturing Internships

Mechanical Engineering Students want to design really cool products to do two things: help save the planet and make a bunch of money!

Unfortunately, to achieve that goal, a big area is often overlooked: the fundamentals of how to make stuff.

That’s were the Bowden Internship & Co-Op Program comes in. We get students busy making stuff, so they can develop strong fundamentals in manufacturing and learn the end-to-end process of going from drawing to production.

Three Simple Steps to Apply

Use the form below to let us know more about you, send us your resume, and upload an optional cover letter.

We’ll contact you to schedule an initial tour & interview session in typical business attire. We want you to see our shop floor and the tour/interview process allows us to assess your machining skill set.

A second interview follows in work clothes, so you can work on the shop floor to demonstrate your skills and get a better idea of how you’ll fit in with our Team.
