6FES Intern Program
- FES is committed to a long-standing program for
developing engineering internsin the State of
Oklahoma - FES has hosted 18 Interns over the past 9 years,
including 8 NASA Space Grant Interns over the
past 5 years. - All interns enhanced their prospects for future
employment based on experience gained at FES - 6 interns accepted full-time positions at FES
after completing college degrees - Others used experience to find employment
opportunities elsewhere in the high-tech
industry. Several are still providing economic
benefit within the State of Oklahoma - FES has, and continues to directly benefit from
the fresh technical insight, enthusiasm and
quest for practical knowledge that each intern
has brought to FES
7NASA Space Grant and Fellowship Program
- Summer 2003, NASA Oklahoma Space Grant Consortium
(OSGC) sponsored Ryan Mounts, OSU MSEE graduate
student as an Intern at FES - Ryan worked in FES Naval Systems Group on a
design team developing a next generation,
advanced sensor distribution system for US Navy
Aegis-class Cruisers - Ryan graduated with an MSEE in Dec 2003 and
accepted a job with METI at the Mike Monroney FAA
Center in OKC. - Intern quote My experience as a NASA Intern has
been productive and informative. The internship
helps to fill gaps left by the limited hands-on
application in the classroom.
8NASA Space Grant and Fellowship Program
(continued)
- Summer ? Fall 2004, NASA Oklahoma Space Grant
Consortium (OSGC) sponsored two students as
Interns at FES - The first intern, Aleia Vest, BSIE student at
OSU, worked in FES Manufacturing Group on two
projects 1) Develop Process to improve tracking
of material 2) Develop plan to upgrade automated
circuit card assembly area to clean-room
environment - Aleia graduated with a BSIE in December 2004, and
accepted a job with the Industrial Engineering
Department in OKC. - Intern quote My time at Frontier greatly
prepared me for the job at UPS and helped me
determine the career direction I want to pursue.
I also plan to continue my education toward an
MBA degree soon.
9NASA Space Grant and Fellowship Program
(continued)

development, fabrication, assembly, and
integration of a new test system for the Engine
Fuel Display. - Following summer/fall internship and graduation
with MSEE in December 2004, Todd joined FES as a
full time Hardware Engineer working on a complex
engineering redesign project for the T-43
aircraft. - Intern quote The knowledge gained during the
internship has given me the confidence and
critical thinking skills beyond what I gained in
the educational institution alone.
10NASA Space Grant and Fellowship Program
