b'Sample cover letter for a mechanical engineering summer internship\n3718 Locust Walk, Suite 20\nPhiladelphia, PA 19104\nJanuary 20, 2015\nMr. David Jones, Recruiter (address letter to an individual if a name is available)\nConsumer Products Company\n123 Pennsylvania Avenue\nBig City, PA 00000\nDear Mr. Jones:\nI am writing to apply for the R&D Product Development Summer Intern position, found on the\nUniversity of Pennsylvania\xc3\xa2\xc2\x80\xc2\x99s PennLink system. I am a junior pursuing a Bachelor of Science in\nEngineering, and majoring in Mechanical Engineering & Applied Mechanics at UPenn. With my\nengineering coursework and project experience, my innovative mindset and affinity for problem\nsolving, and my history of successful team projects, I believe I am a strong candidate for this\nrole.\nAs an undergraduate, I have balanced a rigorous course load and a number of extracurricular\nactivities that have allowed me to enhance my skills relevant to this role. Specific to\nengineering, through my academic project work I have developed abilities in 3-D design and\nmodeling, an understanding of materials, and have practiced different manufacturing\ntechnologies. For example, in my Machine Design and Manufacturing course, I along with two\nteammates created mechanical drawings and designs in SolidWorks. We then modeled,\nmachined and assembled the parts of a working Stirling engine, meeting or exceeding all\nrequirements and deadlines. I have also developed the strong interpersonal and\ncommunication skills required to succeed as the R&D Product Development intern; in addition\nto academic team projects that require collaboration and strong writing and presentation skills,\nI have been selected by my peers for a leadership role within Penn\xc3\xa2\xc2\x80\xc2\x99s Formula SAE team this\nyear, and am an active member of our ASME chapter. Throughout all of my experiences, I have\nused my dedication to efficient and creative problem solving and my ability to prioritize and\nmanage competing demands to positive ends. I am eager to apply my engineering knowledge\nand skills at the Consumer Products Company.\nI am very interested in interviewing for this opportunity and look forward to learning more\nabout your requirements. Attached, please find my resume for your consideration; it contains\nnot only a further description of my Stirling Engine project, but a more in-depth review of other\nrelated projects and experiences that I would be glad to discuss with you. Please feel free to\ncontact me at (215) 000-0000 or by email at student@upenn.edu. Thank you very much for\nyour consideration.\nSincerely,\nSarah Student\nAttachment (1)'
