“I can't say enough positive things about my time at Engenious Design. My technical skills grew, and so did my confidence and my sense of what I'm capable of. But what made it unforgettable was the people. Everyone I worked with brought enthusiasm, dedication, and a can-do energy that sets Engenious apart from the rest.”

A mechanical engineering student at Iowa State University, Sydney's history with Engenious goes back further than her internship. She first visited our design center at an open house in 2022. Four years later, she was back — this time as a Mechanical Engineering Intern for the summer of 2026, a full-circle moment from visitor to team member.

"Working in the model shop running CNCs gave me real, hands-on engineering experience from day one. My mentor and the rest of the team gave me the room to work through problems on my own, and that trust helped me build both technical skill and confidence fast. I'm leaving this internship ready to take on engineering problems independently and to contribute right away as part of a team."

A mechanical engineering student at Colorado School of Mines, Dmitriy spent the summer of 2026 in our model shop. The model shop is where Engenious turns a design into something you can hold: CNC machining, 3D printing, laser cutting, urethane casting, and a model paint shop, all used to build benchtop prototypes and run short production runs without leaving the design center.

“Working at Engenious was amazing! The environment was one that feels like the design center back at school, where curiosity is encouraged and asking questions is never frowned upon. It gave me the perfect environment to dive headfirst into real-world electrical engineering, even though I didn't have much practical experience yet. I was given real projects that had real impact, and I truly felt like I was a part of the team.”

A graduate in biomedical/medical engineering from ArizonaState University, Camila spent the summer with our test team.
