As students of the faculty of Aerospace Engineering at the Technical University of Delft, The Netherlands, it is mandatory to do an internship in the first or second year of the Masters track. The total duration of the internship is set to a minimum of 3 months and is rewarded upon completion with 18 ECTS. The goal of the internship is to put the knowledge gained at the Technical University of Delft into a practical use, being either the aviation or the space field, and to familiarize students with working for a company in preparation of their professional life. There are numerous options available, but working for the Volpe center in the United States of America is an opportunity not to be missed.
