Student Reports

See our interns in action!

Students who perform AFE internships are required to submit a written report at the end of their internship experience. In addition, faculty advisors have the opportunity to visit students on-site. We are pleased to share these reports to allow you to see first hand the wonderful opportunity and important hands-on experience that AFE internships provide.
