Is NIST Intership highly valued by top tier engineering schools?

I am interning under the engineering laboratory at NIST (national institute of standards and technology), in gaithersburg MD, and wanted to know if colleges know about NIST or if any of you did an internship at NIST and you think it helped you when applying for colleges. Im in the SHIP program, NOT SURF, which is for college students.

You can explain what you didi n your internship at NIST on your application.

Perfomed the X, Y, Z tasks/Achieved the A, B, C results for research on Fire Risk Reduction in the Engineering Lab research product as a part of the competitive internship at the National institute of standards and technology.

cool thanks
