[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Student answers “engineering” whenever asked his preferred major, but I think it’s his default understanding of what one does if they’re good at math / physics. Can anyone suggest other majors such a student should consider?[/quote]

If not yet a senior, student should be looking now for a summer internship with a local tech firm, a local givernment lab that includes engineering (e.g., NIST, ARL, NSWC), or a local tech-oriented contractor (e.g., Lockheed, Northrup Grumman). [/quote]

How does one find these internships?  [/quote]

Put together a 1 page resume now. At the very bottom, clearly state either US Citizen, US Permanent Resident, or whichever visa makes the student eligible for employment in the US.

Keep watching various company websites for summer internship openings to be advertised and then apply.

In a normal year, the government lab internships will get posted at USAjobs.gov for a week or two in the fall. Different labs will have different dates. Often a given lab only will accept applications for about a week. This might not be a normal year, so also maybe try to improvise.
