Iron Range Engineering (IRE) has hired 5 interns to work on summer projects this year. We will be keeping you updated throughout the weeks on what we are working on and what next year will entail for the students. We will be working on and finishing up projects from the previous semester. These projects include the Body Scanner, Power Trowel Solution Applicator, and the Pedal-Powered Canoe. These three projects have also been entered into the student division of the MN Cup; the MN cup is an annual, statewide competition that seeks out aspiring entrepreneurs and their breakthrough ideas. Other projects that need finishing up are the Condenser testing at MN Power, where a few students this summer will be going over there to take numerous tests, as well as the Dust Collector project at UTAC where one of our Interns there will be working on and hopefully finishing up. One Intern may also be spending some time working at Polymet.
Other jobs for the summer include doing community service. We will be going up to the North Shore, hopefully a few times this summer to help with some work in the state forests. A group goes this week for the first trip up there. We will also be helping at ICC with camps and projects as well as designing and building some equipment for IRE. We also plan to do some editing and rewriting of some of the grading rubrics. Another possible work opportunity is oil spill cleanup in the Gulf of Mexico. So as it looks, we plan to have a pretty busy summer ahead of us and will keep you updated.
