This summer, 16 interns are gaining experience where engineering starts—on the ground.

Alongside experienced mentors and project teams, they're contributing to municipal infrastructure projects while developing technical, field, and professional skills that extend well beyond the classroom. Five returning interns are building on last summer's experience and sharing their perspective with new members of this year's class.
