Asking for an internship extension

AI Thread Summary
In the discussion, the individual is currently engaged in an Electrical Engineering (EE) Summer Co-Op and expresses a desire to return for a winter break or next summer's Co-Op. They seek advice on how to approach their supervisor about extending their position while also considering future opportunities in other fields, particularly in semiconductors. Concerns are raised about the implications of requesting an extension and potentially pursuing a different Co-Op later, as well as the desire to maintain professionalism without appearing desperate. The individual is looking for tips to prepare for the conversation with their supervisor, as their current Co-Op is nearing its end.

Right now I am in an EE Summer Co-Op with a nice company. They hired me knowing that it was only for my summer break.

However, I would like to come back for my 1 month winter break or even next summer's break.

How would I go about asking my supervisor for an extension.

Although I like the company I am working with which is in Power field of EE I would eventually like to try out some of the other fields, specifically the semi-conductor area.

How would it look if I asked for the extension, was granted it, but then decided that I was going to take on another Co-Op with a different company?

Well my co-op will be over in a few weeks so I will be asking soon. No one can give me any tips so I can be prepared for this?

I really would like to stay with this company but I don't want it to sound desperate.
