Bosco Tech Students Selected for Boeing Summer Internships

SAN GABRIEL, Calif. - May 17, 2013 - PRLog -- Four Don Bosco Technical Institute (Bosco Tech) students have been selected to participate in an eight-week summer internship program sponsored by the Boeing Company. The internships will take place at the aerospace and defense corporation’s satellite division in El Segundo where each student will work under the direction of an engineering mentor.  


The goal of Boeing’s program is to provide high school students with hands-on experience and increase their exposure to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) professions. In addition to being assigned job responsibilities, the students will attend workshops and training sessions in several topics including 3D printing, STEM careers, and team building, all conducted by Boeing. The interns will also be treated to a one-on-one meeting with an astronaut.

The Bosco Tech students, all juniors, were selected to participate in the program based on high academic standing, strong communication skills, and excellent problem solving abilities. Donovan Gonzales, Adam Jang, Alexander San Miguel, and Patrick Williams will begin their responsibilities on June 24. Each was given their choice of work experiences, from designing aerospace modules to developing employee communication tools.

“We’re extremely proud of our students and their commitment to excel in the internships,” said Bosco Tech President Alberto Pimentel. “They will certainly use this experience as a reference point as they plan their university and career paths. We’re grateful to Boeing for providing this very valuable educational opportunity.”

Bosco Tech is an all-male Catholic high school that combines rigorous college-preparatory and innovative technological education. The science, engineering, technology and math (STEM) curriculum allows students to exceed university admission requirements while completing extensive integrated coursework in one of several applied science and engineering programs.
