Dear Ms. Covington:

I’ve wanted to be a mechanical engineer ever since I got my first tool set at age five—though back then, I’d never heard of mechanical engineering. Fifteen years later, I’m a junior at University College, taking courses like thermodynamics, manufacturing processes, statistical quality control and design, and fluid mechanics. Now, I want to continue my dream career with Trarn, Inc., bringing my expertise and passion to work as your mechanical engineering intern.

Last summer, as an engineering intern at Harper Industries, I developed databases for real-time tracking of design and production activities. In addition, I supported project managers in their cost estimation and cost analysis efforts. Throughout the school year, I work as a math tutor, tutoring my peers in statistics and algebra. I also serve as a supplemental tutor in physics and calculus. All of my students have received passing grades since they started working with me. In my spare time, I enjoy competing in the Formula SAE, a design competition that gives students the opportunity to design, build, and test the performance of a real vehicle.

As a mechanical engineering intern at Trarn, Inc., I look forward to problem-solving together as I learn from and support your expert team. Thank you for your time and consideration, and I look forward to speaking with you soon.

Sincerely,

Fei Chen

I’ve wanted to be a mechanical engineer ever since I got my first tool set at age five—though back then, I’d never heard of mechanical engineering. Twenty years later, I spend my days turning ideas into realities by creating and analyzing designs, running simulations, testing products, and, on the weekends, fixing up my 1820’s house. I would like to bring this experience to Trarn, Inc.’s mechanical engineer position.

For the past 16 months, I’ve worked as a mechanical engineer for Delta Engineering, Inc., coordinating and negotiating with materials and equipment vendors. Through my consolidation efforts, the company now spends 12% less time on acquiring necessary resources and, ultimately, 9% less time on the design process, from concept to fabrication. Before that, I interned at Harper Industries, developing databases for real-time tracking of design and production activities. In addition, I supported project managers in their cost estimation and cost analysis efforts.

Through my experience in these roles, I’ve developed expertise in AutoCAD/CADD, as well as proficiency in generating extensive layouts, including shop drawings for use in production activities and submittal drawings for client review.

I look forward to problem-solving together and further discussing my experience at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Fei Chen
