MN engineering firms

[TurboDomestics]

The college im going to has their students get jobs at engineering firms for every other quarter. For example the first quarter you study at school, and the next quarter you go work for an engineering firm to gain experience in the trade. The school is all the way in Michigan, so I would like to find a job here in MN so I can stay near my family and friends at least every 3 months. I havent been able to find any engineering firms locally, and since this is a car site im sure some of you would know of an engineering firm somewhere around here!! I should probably specify im going to study mechanical engineering so I need to find a job as a mechanical engineer.

if I dont find a job here, i will most likely work for GM or some other major corp in MI

Any help would be greatly apreciated!!!

Cliff notes if you dont feel like reading that^:

What school are you going to in Michigan?

Cima Labs: Info (http://www.cimalabs.com/)
Deere: Info (scroll down a ways) (http://www.deere.com/en_US/deerecom/johndeere_worldwide/index.html)
Polaris: Info (http://www.polarisindustries.com/en-us/OurCompany/Careers/Locations/)
Team Industries: Info (http://www.team-ind.com/)

Where exactly have you looked that has turned up zero results for you? I'm not even from Minnesota but came up with those companies off the top of my head. Does this school you are going to have any sort of Career Services office?

Kettering University, it usd to be called General Motors Institute (GMI).

To be honest, I havent really looked much, except for through listings of previous KU students jobs

another super giant ass engineering firm is 3M of course, they hire every kind of engineer imaginable!

Boston Scientific is another one (monster medical device company)

another handy site you can check is progressiveengineer.com

i'm interested in what classes you have to take at your school. do you have to take the 3 years of calc/diff eq and 2 years of physics and all that other horrible shit too? i'm in my 3rd year of ME schooling as well, just curious.

Try Cummins Power Generation - it's engineering, assembly and manufacturing and a 9 billion dollar company - same size as Medtronic. Up in Fridley. Email me your resume - I'll try to help. Be specific about what you've done, courses and manufacturing knowledge. You've gotta be at least a sophomore. I'll be honest about a couple of points though -
1) For my own division - You'll need two things - a GPA of 4.0/4.0 and my engineers need to sign off that they want you. Then I can hire you.
2) If your GPA is less than 4.0, then I will put your resume in to the oither divisions with a note from me and they may/will call you depending on what they see in your resume and their own availability. Thats why I asked you to be specific.

I hope this helps you out. This is a direct route in and not a website deal where you're one of the many. And if you get the job, don't let me down dude - I'll be going out on a limb.

with all engineering programs, dont you need 3 years of calc, 1,2, multivarible and linear algebra? I know thats why I got out of it. even though im a freshman and taking multivarible, but i just dropped it a couple of days ago. figured it wasnt worth the time and effort if it was just going to be an elective.

Medtronic is a great place to get into, as well as Guidant. Both are huge medical companies. Are you looking for a paid position or just a internship? It sounded like you want a paid spot.

Nope.

I only have to take Calc 1, Calc 2, and Differential Equations w/o Leplaus(sp?) transforms.
