TorBots collaborates with a dedicated team of mentors, many of whom specialize in mechanical, electrical and software engineering. With access to industry-standard tools and equipment, we develop many hands-on skills and learn what means to be a professional engineer as a high school student. 

​

A recent focus of TorBots has been providing our students internship opportunities with our local sponsors. Boeing, Eravant, Moog Aircraft Group and Northrop Grumman have offered our members summer internships, where we can expand our practical skills in engineering.

“My time at Moog Aircraft Group has helped me see the diversity of roles within an engineering company and gave me real work experience in a field that I love. At Moog I was able to design a tooling cart and a thermal test box, as well as help the company learn through failure of designing another test box. I also integrated many things into their CAD file organization system, such as the tooling cart, thermal testing boxes, a modified engine stand, and a stand that tests angled gearboxes, by making models and drawings as I do for my robotics team.”

“My experiences at TorBots learning to design and machine products have proved very beneficial for attaining my current job and performing well. I work at a startup called AWA Composites that is making combustion engine parts more efficient and more powerful by replacing them with carbon fiber. Without the knowledge of having machined parts previously on a CNC or knowing how to design proficiently, I would never have been able to design industry-standard products like I currently do.” - Brennan L.
