If she knows she wants to be an engineer, that’s one thing. If not, I’m not sure it really matters. S19 is a physics and math double major at Bowdoin. His physics professor pointed him to the Maine Space Consortium when he wanted to take this last fall off of school. S19 made a bunch of connections through the MSC and Bowdoin alums who work at NASA via LinkedIn and found himself an internship at a start up aerospace company for last fall. Filled out the app for NASA summer internships (it’s on their website and you give them a resume and recommendations and a bunch of essays and then “click” on the internships that you are interested in - there are hundreds.)
He ended up being offered a (very well) paying NASA internship this summer. He has a little knowledge that they wanted but they will also be teaching him a ton.
