Summer Internship 2018
The ETC strongly encourages students to obtain an internship during the summer between their two years of academic study. We find that students who take advantage of this opportunity not only have a valuable learning experience but also have improved chances for success after graduation.
During the summer of 2018, ETC students gained amazing experience in companies that are familiar to the ETC such as Electronic Arts, The Walt Disney Company, Cortina Productions, etc. However, they also explored companies such as Walmart and Intuit Inc. Our students held various titles, some of which include “gameplay programmer”, “game designer”, “UX design intern”, “technical artist intern”, etc.
Second-year student Patrick Guande Lyu worked at Electronic Arts as a software engineer intern this past summer.
“It is a great opportunity to intern at Electronic Arts. The internship experience at EA is more than doing a job, it is also a well-rounded education. I have improved my technical ability, communication, and problem-solving ability, and I have experienced the process video game development of the game industry.”
Apoorva Ramesh did her internship at Jaunt as an Augmented Reality Engineer.
“I spent time developing AR mobile apps for Jaunt Research & Development team. My role here is focused on designing and building the user experience for the next generation of 3D immersive entertainment content. I am working alongside the CTO and Head of R&D in a team to develop content using machine learning, computer vision, and volumetric capture. I am having a great time learning how to rapidly prototype storytelling elements with immersive content in AR.”
Shuo Wang was an User Experience Intern with a mortgage lending company. While a mortgage lending company is not what one usually thinks of as an entertainment technology company, Shou used his knowledge of experience design to help the User Experience Design Team create a prototype of an on-line product to make processes for both the customer and the company easier. The experience allowed Shuo to choose an elective course that will help him improve his overall design and prototying skills.
Magic Leap gave everyone a look at their hardware this summer, and ETC student Urvil Shah interned as an Audio Programmer. “I have been combining my knowledge in sound design with computer programming in the projects here. It feels great to work at one of the most exciting companies in the Mixed Reality space with some really good innovators and experts!”
ETC second-year student Jie Yu Lee was working at Nest (Google) as a Software Engineer Intern.
“I’m working as a software engineer intern in Data Services Team, which builds data pipeline and analysis tools for IoT devices. It’s been a wonderful journey so far because I got opportunities to work with the most talented people and embrace the culture as well as the corporate value here. Cutting-edge technologies and open-minded environment drive me to learn as much as I can. Oh, also those free food.”
Two ETC students, Axel Arth, a Production Intern and Himanshu Telkikar, a Programming Intern spent their summers at Cortina Productions, a company that designs and produces award-winning multimedia experiences for museums. Axel’s take away from the summer was just to jump in and work, with tight deadlines and projects already in progress, there wasn’t much time to wait for comfortability. Himanshu was able to interact with designers and producers to learn how the company manages the huge amount of content to intergrate it into their projects. “I also learned about the overall development pipeline of the company and how work flows from producers to designers to programmers. I learned about the user testing process at the company. It was a different process from what I saw at the ETC since at the ETC we follow a more test driven and iterative process, whereas here a more linear waterfall process was used for development.”
Each summer, approximately 80% of ETC students pursue an internship. More detailed data for the past three years is available on our Career Services Resouces page.

Reviews for "How to Stand Out and Make a Lasting Impression at Your Magic Leap MBA Internship"
1. Sarah - 2 stars - The Magic Leap MBA internship was a major disappointment for me. The company hyped up their technology so much, but when I got there, it felt like smoke and mirrors. The work assigned to me was mundane and had no real impact. I was expecting to learn and contribute to cutting-edge projects, but instead, I felt like a glorified data entry clerk. The company culture was also lacking, with little collaboration or mentorship opportunities. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this internship to anyone looking for a meaningful and impactful experience in the tech industry.
2. John - 1 star - My experience with the Magic Leap MBA internship was nothing short of a disaster. From the beginning, it was clear that the company had no structure or clear direction for interns. We were left to fend for ourselves and figure out what we were supposed to be doing. The lack of communication and support from management was frustrating. It seemed like they were more interested in impressing us with their flashy technology and company perks than actually providing a valuable learning experience. Save yourself the disappointment and look elsewhere for an internship opportunity.
3. Emily - 2 stars - The Magic Leap MBA internship left me feeling underwhelmed and unfulfilled. The company's futuristic technology may be impressive, but the actual internship experience fell flat. The tasks assigned to me were repetitive and didn't provide any real challenge or opportunity to grow. Moreover, there was a lack of structure and support from supervisors, making it difficult to navigate and contribute effectively. I was hoping for an internship that could propel my career forward, but unfortunately, this experience did very little to enhance my skills or expand my network.
