"Interning abroad at Cubicoff Ingeniería Abierta in Seville was one of the best decisions I've made as an engineering student. I got to contribute to a real EU-funded project designing 3D-printed heat exchangers, which gave me hands-on experience that ties directly into my goal of working in R&D after graduation. Just as valuable though, was everything outside the office. For example: interacting with new people, practicing the language every day, and learning to navigate life in a new country on my own. I came away much more confident and with a much clearer picture of the kind of engineer I want to be."
