I don't think engineering internships are price-competitive with minimum wage jobs. So I wouldn't expect any direct impact.
Perhaps an indirect impact though, especially if the company overall is dependent on minimum wage labor in other areas (i.e. the business is less profitable and so overall budgets change to address the changed business model). So that might show up as 1 intern vs. 2, for example. Another example of how an increased minimum wage might reduce overall job openings.
