<p>Hi guys,
I'm currently a senior at college. Since I switched major to Mech Engineering in the middle of my junior year, my adviser told me that I have to take an extra 1.5 years to graduate. Therefore, the whole thing takes 5.5 years in total. I have no previous engineering internship as of this time and just began to think if I should start finding one this summer 2014 or next summer (2015), or am I too late?
Also, when do people mostly start applying if they take the normal 4-year route?
I really appreciate everyone's input!</p>
<p>You’re not too late but start applying now. As in tonight. Get on it. </p>
<p>For summer of 2015, you should start applying in September of 2014 optimally.</p>
<p>I know this is a stupid question since every undergrads should know, that’s why no one bother to answer the question except one. I guess I will have to hit the career center to ask these questions. But thanks you Vladenschlutte, I will start searching.</p>
<p>If the answer is answered correctly, it only takes one.</p>
<p>Actually you are too late for my company for summer 2014. Applicantions were needed by mid Dec. Management is going thru them now.</p>

<p>He’s too late for a lot of companies, but he’s not too late for all companies. It’s not so late that it’s not worth trying.</p>
<p>Yeah, there are tons of pretty reputable (Fortune 100+) companies still looking for interns out there right now. I have pulled an internship from a spring career fair before. It’s absolutely doable.</p>
