Aerospace is having a hard time right now, I know many AEs who just graduated and can't find a job. Luckily as and ME you have a lot more opportunities. But getting a internship at any huge national company you can think of off the top of your head is extremely competitive. It's pretty unlikely you'll find one with Boeing/Raytheon/etc. Your best bet would be to find smaller local companies or find out what connections your school has, or even better if you know someone who works in the industry. Even then it's competitive. I'm in my senior year now and have been unable to find an engineering internship each summer. If you're looking for a summer internship, you really should start looking in Jan/Feb because that's when companies start posting their internships.
