Altair Selects Clemson Engineering Student for Two-Year Paid Summer Internship Program
April 30, 2012
Students will work with Altair’s HyperWorks and ProductDesign businesses to gain hands-on learning and employment opportunities
TROY, MI – April 30, 2012 – Engineering students from universities in South Carolina and Utah have been selected as the latest participants in Altair Engineering’s paid, two-summer internship program. The initiative is part of Altair’s ongoing internship program that cycles new students into the organization annually to earn real-world experience.
Austin Culberson, a mechanical engineering student at Clemson University will be employed for three months this summer at Altair headquarters in Troy, Mich., working in the HyperWorks support organization with industry customers, project management teams, sales teams and several Altair business units.
During the summer of 2013 he will work in Altair’s ProductDesign division, learning how computer simulation is applied to the design process, and how Altair ProductDesign combines its domain expertise and HyperWorks technology to develop innovative, minimum-weight design solutions.
Culberson is from Kingsport, Tenn., and Yurevich is a native of Minsk, Belarus, residing in Provo, Utah. They were chosen for the program after Altair conducted extensive resume reviews, telephone interviews and on-site campus interviews of finalist candidates. The students will work closely with experts throughout Altair, which is known globally for its high-tech CAE software and consulting services for engineering, computing and business analytics.
This internship will provide me with real-world applications to my education through the use of modern technology, thus enabling me to be better prepared for the future of engineering, said Culberson.
Altair developed the summer internship program to acquaint students with the fundamentals of CAE, a rapidly expanding discipline required for creating simulations used in various industries for designing and perfecting everything from automobiles and airplanes to washing machines and golf clubs.
After completing their internships, the students will be evaluated for possible fulltime employment at Altair or on site with one of Altair’s industry-leading customers or partners.
