Part I
What is an internship?
Any official or formal program to provide practical experience for beginners in an occupation or profession.
What is the difference between and an apprenticeship and an internship?
The main difference between an apprenticeship and an internship is that internships are more exploratory. You're not bound to work for your employer after the internship is over (although many interns do receive job offers). If you start early enough to do a few internships throughout college, you can use the first ones to get a feel for what career you'd like to pursue and the later ones to build your experience.
What are some characteristics of internships in the US?
In the U.S., federal law mandates that unpaid interns must not benefit the company economically or be used to displace the work done by paid employees. Some states have their own regulations regarding interns. For example, in California, unpaid interns must receive college credit for their work.
According to Sabitano, how has the role of the intern changed?
The employer mindset has gone from viewing the internship as a form of corporate community service to a method for accessing free labor. In a thriving economy, employers want to invest in the future workforce by providing opportunities for young emerging professionals to learn about their industry and professions. However, when times get tough, employers want to simply stay alive long enough to get through the recession.

How will
you manage your responsibilities at school, home and work?
First of
all I need to have in mind that one thing is not more important than the other
one. School, work and home have the same importance in my life and they all
require my time and dedication. I believe all I need to do is administrate my
time in the best way possible. At first is a little hard because one you have
to study and work at the same time the activities tend to increase, but it is
possible to manage all things.
What
challenges will you face during your internship?
I will
probably see things that I didn’t learn in school, I believe there will be things
I really don’t know how to do them and those kinds of things stress me out. It’s
hard when they ask you to do something and you have no one to ask for help, but
I believe it is part of the professional growth.
How will
you prepare to overcome those challenges?
I believe
that the internet is a good tool to use when you don’t know how to do something
since it has information regarding a lot of subjects. It’s all about the time
you spend studying because in the university you only see the basis of things.
Being a great engineer depends only in me, my effort and ambition to be better
each day.
