Business Outlook
Pros
Graduate students are great mentors. You can have your own project. Hours are flexible and can be balanced with school work. You are given opportunities to network, present, and grow as a researcher.
Cons
The pay is low compared to average engineering internships. Funding for you and your project can vary depending upon whether research grants are successful and the lab professor's budget. You generally have to volunteer in the lab first before they agree to fund you.
