DON'T CANOE ME BRO!
Graduating college without an internship is like graduating without a degree. It's more important than most of your classes. Wherever you do it, just make sure you do it.
and pay attention to the engineering process, not just the product. the progression from concept to application, especially grokking customer and regulatory requirements, laying out a plan to achieve the right level of maturity/robustness to meet customer deliverable timing, getting through DV and PV testing, that E36 M3 right there transfers to any product in any industry.
When we post on an old thread brought to the top by a canoe the terrorist win.
You are right Cosworth Racing and Cosworth Engineering are not the same. Cosworth Racing has not existed for a while now as the restructuring of when Ford sold Cosworth group was back in 2004.
What Cosworth Turbo Miata do you speak of? Are you really referring to the Cosworth Supercharger system for the Mx-5? If so, the failures have never been related to the supercharger, but with the lack of knowledge about proper flash tuning for the ECUs when the product was developed and sold.
With most reviews saying that the engineering work was OEM quality, and with Cosworth rebuilding engines FOC with Cosworth components, it would look like Cosworth stepped up to the plate to rectify something that is sold as "aftermarket" and "off-road use" only like 99% of aftermarket products.
The supercharger is still sold and is enjoyed by many.
I had to comment as negative comments each time Cosworth is mentioned seems to be based off of an experience someone has had in the past.

Part of my point. The negative comments are not about something I bought. But indeed of previous experience.
Yeah, cosworth has had internships forever, they advertise those jobs on their website all the time.
In reply to null:
I believe it was the group selected to do the tune. I know they beat the snot out of the car before selling the kit and drove it cross country to validate it as well.
Hopefully they can prove themselves in the future to you or at least be on the neutral side of your opinion.

I hope so too. But products and kits had nothing to do with how I came about my opinion. The kits have backed it up, considerably, though.
It's going to take a lot to change my mind about Cosworth Engineering.
