Stressed about internships (non-CS):-
Hi all! 2nd year ECE student here
I am actively searching for internships right now. What I am looking for is to build something productive related to embedded system, circuit design and AI and gain experience in the process. I have applied to a few professors in NIT for research internship but only met with silence from their end. Industrial internships seem to be possible only through referrals these days and I do not know anyone who can do that. All left is only paid internships, courses etc which are my fall back options.
Though I can do projects by myself in the summer, I think an internship would give a more well rounded exposure than sitting at home, and also is what employers prefer .
If anyone has any kind of suggestions, please share it. I just want to spend the time wisely.
