Responsibilities
Listed below are quotes from previous recipients about their summer intern experience:
“This summer internship has opened my eyes as to what it means to be a bearing engineer. I have learned just how complex and various the processes can become for specific bearing applications. I have been fortunate that the mechanical engineers at the Sylvania plant have been consistently willing to teach and share their experience in bearing engineering. This is truly a great place to be for a young engineer to learn and grow.” – Michael Gonzales, 2012 Recipient
"I owe a great deal to both NHBB and ABMA for creating this wonderful opportunity for me. This was my first internship and I can honestly say that it was an invaluable learning experience. Not only did I gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for engineering, but I can now say that I have seen and been involved in an application of manufacturing engineering." - Abigail Jenkins, 2011 Recipient
