- I want to work towards getting a nuclear fusion internship (i.e. via SULI), but what is the best thing to do to gain experience as a college freshman without experience?
Hello! I'm a newbie here, so I apologize if I posted this in the wrong area of if this has already been answered.
I'm a Mechanical engineering major at Georgia Tech (but I'll probably switch to Engineering Physics). Nonetheless, I'm very intrigued by the prospect of nuclear fusion and would like to get involved in the industry. I've been looking at internships, and it appears that one of the best options would be to attain an internship through the US DOE's Science Undergraduate Laboratory Internship (SULI), among some other options. I read that employers of interns will examine applicants' qualifications in regard to their achievements relevant to the fields they plan to study.
Since I'm going to be a first-year come this fall, I'm curious as to how I can get a leg-up on the competition by gaining that experience. I've already begun reading a third-year GaTech Fusion textbook, but I'm having trouble determining where I can gain real experience/qualifications. Does anyone have any ideas?
