RAMP Engineering Intern Program
Western Digital is still looking for juniors (graduating in Dec 2019 or Spring 2020) that are majoring in computer science, computer engineering, or electrical engineering to fill some internships we have in Milpitas, CA and South San Jose, CA. There are some software developer openings as well as openings in firmware and hardware. Anyone interested is asked to apply online and can reach out to me directly to let me know that they’ve applied. I will then alert my recruiter colleagues that they have applied and that should get them an immediate phone screen. Contact CorporateVP@swetamu.org after applying to receive an immediate phone screening.
F.L.A.M.E.
Females Leading Aggies as Mentors in Engineering (F.L.A.M.E.) was started in January 1998. This program has grown steadily since then. One of the main goals of F.L.A.M.E. is to enrich students by providing mentorship. The mentors are female engineers working in industry who come from different backgrounds. Students are usually assigned to groups of 2-3 members, and then matched with a mentor who works in a discipline that the students are interested in. Bi-monthly contact is maintained via e-mail through discussion topics, which range from advice on college to interview tips, and even the occasional joke! Twice per semester, students and mentors meet in Houston and College Station for networking luncheons. In past semesters, several students were offered internship and co-op opportunities as a result of their participation in F.L.A.M.E. This program is truly a reflection of networking and support in continuing education.
Apply for F.L.A.M.E.
The FLAME program is a great way to meet females in the industry and gain professional development skills! FLAME consists of biweekly emails with an assigned mentor along with two Zoom workshops to establish more time with the mentors. If you are interested in participating, please fill out this application by 11:59 PM on September 8th. Contact flame@swetamu.org for questions/concerns.

Howdy! My name is Dakota Graves and I am a junior Industrial & Systems Engineering major from El Paso, TX. I started getting involved in SWE at the beginning of my freshman year as a part of the SWElites Socials Committee, where I then became a Socials Co-Chair. I am now the F.L.A.M.E Chair and I am so excited to continue my SWE journey this year! During my free time, I love to draw, listen to music, and watch mystery movies. I also love spending quality time with my friends and family.
