How long I will be working with this company...
Hello,
I am currently working as a CAD intern and I am wondering how long they will be keeping me at the company. At first I was hired during the summer time for an internship and those usually last a couple of weeks to months, but now it seems like I am working part-time since they ask for my school schedule. How do I ask how long I will be working here without being too upfront or rude? I would like to know in case they are planning on letting me go after a couple more months, so that I am prepared to find another internship.
Thanks.

I would simply be up front and ask a supervisor or manager about your future with the company. That way, they know you are serious and interested in staying. Waiting for them to approach you would make it seem like you don't care about whether or not you have a future working for them. You're not just going to get hired because you're good at the job, you also need to show them that you want to be there.

I would suggest you not ask that question. Here is my reason. You were hired as a summer intern. Now it appears you have been kept on in a part-time manor to the point you have been asked to supply your school schedule.
It appears to me that they are pleased with your work and want to design a work schedule for you around your school schedule. They would not be asking for your school schedule unless they had plans for retaining you in a full part-time position.
I do not know exactly how they will approach you with this offer. It is possible that they will do so during the office Christmas party when everyone is in a celebratory mood for this does call for a celebration. For as you said, most intern position do not last very long.
I would go as far as to say if they are going to offer you a full time part-time position, one they design for you around you school schedule;; then you are probably not going to have to look for a job when you complete school as this position they are designing is one that is going to train you to work for them upon graduation.
Give yourself a pat on the back for you must be very good at what you do and have an excellent work ethic as well.
