It’s National Engineers Week. It’s a week to celebrate how engineers make a difference in our world and increase awareness for the growing need for engineers. Engineers Week (February 22-28, 2026) is more than a celebration of a profession—it’s a movement to show young people that engineering is creative, collaborative, and most importantly, open to everyone.
Today we’re transforming futures with opportunities, reflecting on the interns who have shaped our team and the experiences that shaped them.
Opportunity Encouragement for Aspiring Engineers
Marty, VP of Marine Engineering
“Get an internship early—ideally at a place where you will contribute directly to the company’s products or services.”
Evelyn, Mechanical Intern
“I encourage any aspiring engineer to put as much time and energy into exploring internships as they can manage.”
For decades, Art Anderson has welcomed a new class of bright, driven students who join our team for a few short months and leave here with real-world experience, professional growth, and a clearer sense of their career path. We believe internships are more than just a seasonal tradition with the arrival of summer; they are an investment in the future of engineering.
Recent Interns Have Shared Their Experience:
- Clark, 2019 – “Projects that Art Anderson works on are not traditional and repetitive… they brought new challenges that required me to apply my knowledge in unique ways.”
- Sai, 2021 – “I gained meaningful experience with GHS, Rhino, AutoCAD, and writing real technical specs. It wasn’t just busy work.”
- Henry, 2022 – “I developed critical engineering skills and got to interact directly with clients. Seeing how a consulting firm really works was invaluable.”
- Chelsea, 2025 – “Not only did I learn a lot of technical skills at Art Anderson, but I also contributed directly to ongoing projects. I was quickly onboarded onto multiple projects and worked alongside other engineers who were all great mentors and teachers.”
By supporting emerging talent, we are not just building up individuals, we are supporting the future of the engineering industry.
