Automation Engineering Intern
Automation engineering is a branch of engineering that deals with the automation of manufacturing processes. An automation engineer works on developing computer hardware and software for automated manufacturing systems, which presents new challenges every day. The role of an automation engineer is critical to the production process, since it often involves designing and implementing new technologies that can save time, money and resources (e.g., energy) for companies.
What skills do you need?
Automation engineers need strong math skills because they work on mathematical models and simulations; computer science experience is also helpful if you want to become an expert in programming or coding software solutions for businesses. You may want to consider earning an interdisciplinary degree that combines disciplines like mechanical engineering or industrial engineering with electrical engineering so you’re prepared for this type of job right out of college!

Marketing Intern
- What is a marketing intern?
A marketing intern is someone who performs research and analysis to support the development of new products or services. An intern may also act as a project manager, coordinating various teams to ensure that their work meets deadlines and complies with clients’ requests. Marketing interns might work on projects in any of several fields: sales, advertising, public relations, online marketing or brand management.
- What are the responsibilities of a marketing intern?
The duties of a marketing intern vary depending upon where you’re working and what your supervisor’s expectations are for you at this point in your career. Generally speaking, though:
- You’ll be asked to follow up on leads from existing customers as well as generate new ones by using social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter;
- You’ll be expected to keep up with industry news and trends so that you can inform others about them;
- When not researching potential clients or strategizing ways to promote existing ones’ brands through various channels (depending on what kind), you might need enough knowledge about technical aspects such as SEO etc., so that when problems arise due to something like poor search engine optimization (SEO) strategies being implemented incorrectly by another team member(s), they can be addressed before they become too big an issue.”
Finance/Accounting Intern
Finance/Accounting Internships
Abbott Labs is looking for finance interns who are interested in learning the inner workings of a large, global enterprise. Finance internships at Abbott Labs are available in the United States, Europe, and Asia. Interns can choose to work on various projects ranging from financial analysis to strategic planning. Candidates with undergraduate or graduate degrees in any field will be considered for positions at Abbott Labs as well as other businesses within the AbbVie group of companies.
Quality Assurance Intern
Quality assurance is used to ensure that quality standards are being met, while quality control is used to evaluate a product or service. Quality control is usually associated with manufacturing processes and takes place after a product has been made, whereas quality assurance deals with planning, designing and testing products before they are manufactured.
There are three major types of QC:
- In-process QC – tests conducted during manufacturing to ensure that the process itself is working correctly
- End-product QC – conducted at the end of manufacturing process (i.e., after all steps have been completed) but before a product leaves the factory floor
- Final QC – conducted in final packaging or shipment
