The most interesting aspect of my internship was seeing how I was able to apply my mechanical engineering background to a quality engineering role.
Because their co-ops are treated the same as full-time engineers, my responsibilities were the same as those of a full-time employee.
I have learned a lot of valuable information and lessons that I can apply to my future career.
The most important experience I gained from this internship came from working on a team of fellow engineers who valued my input and helped me to grow as a professional in the field.
Some campus activities I participate in like the Virtus and the Black Engineers Society prepared me for my internship because they taught me a good deal about professionalism and professional communication.
I was able to spend 6 weeks working in Prudhoe Bay, AK, which is the area where the Alaskan Pipeline begins.
As a product quality engineering intern, I was responsible for writing inspection steps and reviewing the manufacturing and testing steps.
[M]y experience at the lab brought many concepts that I learned over my academic career together, such as programming, circuitry, and 3D modeling.
It was the greatest and most enriching professional experience I have had in my life so far.
I became better at diagnosing a problem and thoroughly explaining technical issues.
