re: Where is the best place to find engineering internships?

Not in engineering but concept still applies, I applied to 20 actuary internships and got called back from a few for phone interviews and no further action.

Administrator at the university I worj with in SGA told me his neighbor is an actuary. He is VP and corporate actuary. He has the HR woman email me for a resume and sets up interview with hiring manager. I get dinner with him a week later and he says "You will hear back from (blank) in a day or two" I receive an offer letter the next day.

Point being, milk connections like crazy and find people. Look on linkedin for people in civil engineering. My buddy got an internship by messaging people he didnt know on linkedin
