I've finally landed an interview for a mechanical engineering internship for the summer and I want to make sure I'm as prepared as possible. The job will be as a Mechanical Reliability Engineer intern.
I've practiced interview questions for hours and proofread my resume too many times to count. I thought I was good to go, but I've been talking with my adviser through email over spring break and she said to bring a portfolio. This is the first time I've been told to bring a portfolio to an interview. It seems like a good idea, but I'm unsure exactly what to put in it.
So far I've included this things:
A picture of the CAD drawing of an air compressor I built for a school competition
A picture of the CAD drawing of a mechanical walker I built for a school competition
A business card for my side job (computer repair)
Three copies of my resume
A technical paper I've written (about 6 pages of body; 10 pages total)
I really have no clue if these are things that should be in there or not. They're just the only things I could think of.
Is there any other pertinent documents I should include? It's too late to get a copy of my transcript. Should I not include the technical paper?
Thanks for any help
