Benefits of Student / Industry Internships in 2005
Eric LaChapelle – Lockheed Martin Corporation
Biosystems Engineering Senior
The summer before my senior year was spent as an intern for Lockheed
Martin in metro Washington DC. I worked as both a systems engineer and
test engineer in the Integrated Systems and Solutions sector of the
company. Because of Lockheed Martin’s role in national security
research and implementation, the company was interested in students
with a systems approach to engineering and an interest in Geographic
Information Systems (GIS). Michigan State’s Biosystems Engineering
program gave me experience in both of these areas. Upon completing my
summer internship, I was offered a full time position as a systems engineer.
I gladly accepted, and I am looking forward to being a part of the Lockheed
Martin team after graduation in May, 2006.
