Join us in welcoming our 2026 interns!

This summer, welcomes more than 50 interns from universities across the U.S., joining our offices nationwide. As part of AEI’s internship program, our interns will gain hands-on experience working alongside our teams on projects that help shape the built environment.

Representing disciplines across mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, commissioning, technology, security, building performance, and more, our interns reflect the breadth of AEI’s comprehensive engineering design approach.

At AEI, internships go beyond observation. Our program is designed to provide meaningful project experience, mentorship from industry professionals, and real-world learning opportunities that help prepare the next generation of leaders.

We’re proud to invest in emerging talent and look forward to all this group will accomplish this summer.

AI isn’t just changing what data centers do — it’s transforming how they’re built. In a recent article for Consulting-Specifying Engineer, ’s Anvay Joshi shares insight into how rising AI workloads are reshaping infrastructure planning and design for next-generation data center facilities.

Increasing power densities, accelerated deployment timelines, and utility constraints are driving a shift toward more advanced cooling strategies and scalable infrastructure solutions to support higher performance and efficiency. In response, data centers are rapidly adopting strategies such as liquid cooling, thermal energy storage, modular construction, and CFD analysis to better manage heat and power demands, space constraints, and complex operational requirements.

AI and high-performance computing are accelerating the expansion of more powerful, sophisticated data centers. But as demand grows, the pressure to rapidly deliver high-performing facilities introduces risks that can compromise the quality of design and construction.

In a recent article for Quality Magazine, ’s Eric Bartlett discusses the importance of integrating quality control throughout the data center project lifecycle—from design and installation through commissioning and operations. By addressing quality issues at every stage, data centers can achieve long-term reliability and efficiency while reducing operational risk.

is proud to have provided and sustainable engineering design services for this award-winning adaptive reuse project - University of Southern California’s Dick Wolf Drama Center!

Explore how AEI helped to revitalize this historic building into a cutting-edge performing arts facility ➡ https://aeieng.com/news/aei-pivotal-experts-share-insights-on-transforming-historic-building-into-performing-arts-center

University of Southern California (USC) Dick Wolf Drama Center received the Los Angeles Conservancy 2026 Preservation Award in recognition of its adaptive reuse design.

Previously, USC’s historic United University Church, the renovated space features modern theaters, studios, and classrooms. ’s lighting design carefully preserves and enhances the facility’s original stained-glass windows and soaring vaulted ceilings. The team matched this commitment to historical preservation with top-tier environmental design, securing LEED Platinum® certification.

The resulting design honors architectural history while providing a high-performance, energy-efficient space where future generations of artists will thrive.
