About our program
Margaret Ingels Engineering Development Program duration (24 months)
4 Rotations (6 months each)
Our engineering development program is named after Margaret Ingels. She was the first American woman to receive a professional degree in mechanical engineering. She was the first female engineer at Carrier, was a close associate of Willis Carrier and spent a distinguished technical career at the company. One of her significant technical accomplishments was the development of the sling psychrometer, a device for the measurement of relative humidity of air.
UTC’s Ingels Engineering Development Program is an entry-level rotational program for top engineering students around the world sponsored by the UTC Chief Technology Officer.
You will be working with a passionate, diverse group of people who share a common ambition to change the world for the better. The goal of this two-year rotational program is to expose you to the immensely broad array of products and technologies that comprise UTC’s portfolio, put you on the front line of business-critical assignments to stretch your capabilities and build your real-world knowledge, and give you the opportunity to build some of the most complex and most impactful products that our society makes. We seek to identify and prepare the next generation of top technical talent at UTC by building one’s engineering, leadership, and business acumen through a challenging, fast-paced rotation experience.
