Through a competitive application process, 120 students – half of them from ASU and half from Chandler-Gilbert Community College – were selected to participate.
The students got hands-on technical training from veteran Intel engineers and guidance in professional networking, exploring career paths and job hunting.
They designed and tested robots, developed applications for electronic devices and tackled other real-world engineering challenges.
They also got advice from recent engineering graduates who led a discussion about how to survive engineering school.
Intel launched five additional Ultimate Engineering Experience sessions near its facilities in Folsom, Calif., Columbia, S.C., Hillsboro, Ore., Austin, Texas and Rio Rancho, N.M.
Students who successfully completed the program received a stipend and a scholarship from Intel.
