Our 3-month online internship immerses engineering students and researchers in hands-on simulation projects beyond the classroom. We focus on practical experience with professional CFD and FEA tools such as Abaqus, ANSYS (including Fluent), COMSOL, LS-DYNA, OpenSees, OpenFOAM and more. Under expert mentorship, interns apply theory to real problems: preparing CAD geometry, generating meshes, running simulations, and analyzing results. This project-based training is specifically designed to bridge the gap between academia and industry.
- Hands-On Projects: Work on real engineering problems from Day 1 – for example, simulating airflow over an aircraft wing or stress distributions in a bridge component. You’ll use the same techniques and workflows that professionals use in industry.
- Professional Tools: Get practice with industry-standard software (ABAQUS, ANSYS Mechanical/Fluent, COMSOL Multiphysics, LS-DYNA, OpenFOAM, etc.) on our high-performance computing (HPC) resources.
- Expert Mentorship: Receive one-on-one guidance from our simulation engineers. Mentors review your work, answer questions, and help build your skills.
- Extensive Learning Materials: Gain full access to our library of course videos, tutorials, and example files. You’ll have premium access to our training packages throughout the program.
- Collaborative Environment: Join a small cohort of peers from aerospace, mechanical, civil, materials, and manufacturing engineering. Learn and network together in a supportive technical community.
During the internship, you’ll tackle projects that mirror real industry challenges. For example, you might model turbulent mixing in a combustion chamber or heat transfer in an electronic device. By working through every step – from geometry setup to solver configuration to post-processing – you build confidence in solving complex problems. Interns often find that this project-based learning accelerates job readiness: as one CFD training program notes, blended technical training with real-world projects is key to career growth. Our dedicated HPC/cloud cluster lets you run large-scale simulations efficiently, so you focus on learning, not waiting.
Certifications & Career Growth
On successful completion, every intern earns a certificate of completion recognizing their new skills. We also provide strong performance references and letters of recommendation. Outstanding participants may even be invited to continue working with our team or join as junior engineers. In addition, all interns keep free premium access to our full course and software library, enabling you to continue learning beyond the internship. This combination of certification, portfolio projects, and mentorship maximizes your career opportunities.
Who Can Apply & How It Works
This internship is open to senior undergraduate or graduate students and early-career engineers in relevant fields. Ideal applicants are studying or working in aerospace, mechanical, civil/structural, materials, or manufacturing engineering with an interest in simulation. A basic familiarity with CAD or simulation software is helpful, but our program quickly brings you up to speed on advanced tools.
The program is fully online and flexible. You can work on assignments at your own pace (typically a few hours per day) and join periodic mentorship calls as scheduled. To apply, simply contact our support team and they will guide you through enrollment. Once registered, your internship begins immediately – no rigid start dates or fixed hours.
Our goal is to equip you with real-world simulation experience and a professional network. By the end of the three months, you’ll have mastered key CFD/FEA techniques and built a solid portfolio to boost your resume. If you’re eager to learn simulation through actual engineering projects, this internship is for you – apply today and take the first step toward becoming a proficient, industry-ready simulation engineer.
