Steel Dynamics

Overview

What Does Steel Dynamics Do?

Steel Dynamics is a leading industrial metals solutions company that produces lower-carbon, high-quality steel products primarily from recycled scrap. Operating through a circular manufacturing model, the company manufactures a wide range of steel products including flat roll, structural, and long products for industries such as construction, automotive, energy, and manufacturing. In addition to steel production, Steel Dynamics operates metals recycling facilities, steel fabrication plants, and aluminum production operations, serving customers across North America with a focus on innovation, efficiency, and sustainability.

What Makes This Internship Different?
Steel Dynamics’ mechanical engineering internships stand out from those at other companies because they offer a true balance of office-based engineering work and hands-on industrial experience. Interns are not limited to observing from a distance, they actively work alongside operators and maintenance teams on the production floor, applying engineering principles directly to equipment, systems, and processes. This approach allows interns to design solutions, test them in real-world conditions, and see the immediate impact of their work. By combining technical analysis, CAD design, and process improvement projects with practical mechanical maintenance, Steel Dynamics provides interns with a unique opportunity to develop both engineering expertise and practical skills that are highly valued in the industry.

Examples of Projects Steel Dynamics Mechanical Engineering Interns Have Completed

Analyze and improve water treatment facility components by evaluating pumps, piping systems, filtration units, and energy recovery equipment; conduct system diagnostics, efficiency testing, and CAD modeling for design upgrades; assist in implementing automated monitoring technologies to enhance operational reliability.
Replace and redesign scrap car generators to improve power efficiency, including selecting upgraded components, working with vendors, and overseeing installation to minimize downtime and improve energy use.
Design and fabricate simplified slag doors using CAD software and collaborate with external fabricators to produce parts; develop and install a custom slag chute to reduce buildup on the melt deck, improving safety and operational flow.
Install platform walkways to improve accessibility and operator safety; perform measurements and thermal expansion calculations to ensure structural integrity over time and prevent cracking or misalignment.
Build and modify scrap chutes to eliminate recurring clogging issues; identify and address mechanical causes such as chute lip design; research and recommend safer lubricants like liquid graphite to replace hydraulic fluid, reducing fire risk and improving environmental safety.
Conduct research and development (R&D) on equipment improvements, such as sourcing and testing new wheels for rotary hearth furnaces, evaluating more accessible designs for machinery components, and collaborating with maintenance teams for installation and testing.
Assist in predictive maintenance initiatives by collecting and analyzing vibration, temperature, and performance data on rotating equipment to identify early signs of wear or failure, and recommending corrective actions.
Support process optimization projects by monitoring production equipment, identifying bottlenecks, and implementing mechanical adjustments or redesigns to improve throughput and efficiency.
Develop tooling and fixtures for maintenance and production teams to improve repair efficiency, reduce changeover time, and enhance operator ergonomics.
