What should I expect from DMC's 1-Day Externship Program?
DMC consistently recruits at your school each year, and although we do not offer internships, we are looking for a chance to interact with underclassmen, share what we do, and equip students with a resume-building opportunity. DMC engineers love to share information and have fun, and we will be doing a lot of that through our Externship Program! We are excited to meet students, answer questions, and provide attendees with a meaningful experience.

DMC will select a handful of students to join us onsite for one day this Winter. These students will spend the day as a DMC engineer taking part in creating technical solutions, learning about the manufacturing industry, and being a part of our Chicago office. Much of the day will be centered around technical hands-on learning in our lab spaces. Students will learn what we do in our various service areas, industries, and projects. This is a great opportunity to get exposure to industry topics and technologies, from relationships with DMC engineers, build your resume, and learn something new!

Who should apply?
When considering applications, our committee will be looking for students who express interest in DMC, the manufacturing industry, software development, and/or controls systems. The application is open to students of all graduation years; we are generally looking for engineering students pursuing their degree in either Mechanical or Electrical Engineering.

When will the externship take place?
The Externship Program will be held during the week of January 5th (exact date TBD) at DMC Chicago HQ, which is located at 2222 N Elston Ave, Chicago IL 60614.
It is the responsibility of the applicant to handle their transportation to and from DMC. We will not be reimbursing travel expenses.*
