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?

No guidance?...

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.
 

Thread 'Applied Math PhD candidate but I hate group theory'

TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...

Thread 'Where did all the “fundamentals-deepening” master’s programs go?'

I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...
