"We have employed UConn MEM interns at Sikorsky for three years and are consistently pleased with the quality of these students - they are bright, curious, energetic, and extremely capable. Many have solved difficult problems for us ranging from health and safety issues to process design and layout. Their solutions are practical, doable, and within budget. It is a real treat to work with these young engineers who think creatively and are able to work effectively within the real world of manufacturing."
