Apply Your Knowledge Through Cooperative
Education & Engineering Internships

Students Solving Real-World Problems

A key part of the ATA culture is a love of learning, and sharing what we learn. As a student participating in our co-op program or engineering internships, you work alongside ATA team members on current projects. You gain valuable job skills and real-world experience by solving complex engineering problems. Our mentoring programs have been so successful that about 25% of our full-time employees started as co-op students or engineering interns.

Cooperative Learning Program (Co-op)

Are there really co-op opportunities with a company that designs, analyzes, and tests theme park rides, aircraft, launch vehicles, and satellites? Yes!

ATA’s co-op program, which began in 2000, allows university students to work side by side with recognized experts in mechanical engineering disciplines such as acoustics, structural dynamics, modal testing, computational fluid dynamics, and thermal analysis.
