These experiences can also help students with their subsequent course work. Available positions at companies are posted on the Human Factors and Ergonomics bulletin board located on the second floor of Anderson Hall, in the hallway across from the Mechanical Engineering office, as well as listed on the Tufts HFES Web pages, which are currently located here Any student may receive credit for an internship from a particular department or from the All College. However, at most, two internships can be counted for course credit and each internship fulfills one course credit. If an internship is to be done for credit, a sponsoring professor must be found who will guide the student in writing a paper based on the internship experience, which will be graded so that credit may be given. In the Mechanical Engineering Department, this is called a Special Topics paper.
Some internships offer compensation.
