<p>What are some good internships for consulting and industrial engineering?</p>
<p>Also, what do consulting interns do? The firms can not possibly give you a case study, or can they?</p>
<p>bump...</p>
<p>Interested more in IE internships?.?...</p>
<p>If you have strong grades the big management consulting firms have great internship programs for kids with different engineering backgrounds. You will assist in projects for different client projects doing a wide variety of things. Look at Bain, BCG and McKinsey.</p>
<p>I was an IE major (though its been renamed since I graduated). Interestingly enough, as hmom5 pointed out, the vast majority of us went on to finance and consulting. Part of it was that my university didn't offer a finance major and econ just wasn't the right fit for a lot of people. I think IE is a great major as it gives you flavors both in the quantitative and qualitative. People argue that we lack depth but we sure make it up with breadth!</p>
<p>All the management and strategy consulting companies will have internships as will the ibanks - though times have certainly changed. I would spend time looking at the boutique consulting and financial firms. Interns continue to be a cost effective way for firms to evaluate future talent while continuing to execute project based work.</p>
