As with any cover letter, the cover letter for an engineering internship should open with a salutation addressed to the contact person specified in the listing. If no contact name is provided, the letter may be addressed "To Whom it May Concern," or the salutation may be skipped altogether. The candidate should then specify how he or she learned of the internship - on the employer's website, .
through a current employee, or through a past intern, for example. Next, the candidate should list and elaborate upon relevant experiences. Such experience may include previous internships or employment in the technology, manufacturing, or science fields. The candidate should also indicate any relevant coursework, research experience and above-average computer skills, if applicable. Then the candidate should sum up by explaining why he or she believes the internship would be a good fit, and how the experience could help in the long run.
