Experience as an Intern
Internship Experience
Looking for an
internship can be sometimes frustrating. There is a lot of opportunities
out there, but sometimes it is very hard to find one for you. I think that
if you are looking to be an engineer, any kind of engineering job can help
you get experience. For example, I am studying mechanical engineering at
Jacksonville University and my first internship was at a civil engineering
company
In general, most of the engineers have to deal with
similar working environments and tasks. As a ME, you could be designing
the newest medical equipment on specific software or actually machining a
new part that you are working on. As a CE, instead of creating a piece of
new medical equipment you could be designing the infrastructure of a
building or inspecting the ground of a new construction. In general, you
can relate most tasks with other branches of engineering without getting
into specifications. This is why I decided
to intern with a CE company. Also, as I said earlier sometimes it is very
challenging to find an internship that fits your purpose and they offered me
everything I needed and more that I could not have thought about before
accepting it. Sometimes opportunities come in different shapes and you have
to be able to recognize it.
The purpose of the internship I formed part
of was to learn how to work and interact in a working environment, develop
new skills with the computer programs they provided, and improve the overall
working skills necessary to join a company in the future.
Eastern Engineering Group
offered me the opportunity to learn from the knowledge of a group led by
some professional engineers of a small company as this one is. The job was
offered as Auto CAD drafter looking for a full-time intern.
My daily routine started at 7:00 am and finished at 4:00
pm. I had to work with different departments that are in charge of
different parts of engineering. One day I could start working for the
windows and doors department, and in the afternoon once I finished my
project I would change to the structure department. They have their
peculiarities and sometimes the type of job is completely different.
Also, I had to pick up jobs of maintenance and updating the software for
the company.
The overall experience at the company was excellent, and I
decided to use it as my internship credit at school. In order to get the
credits for it I had to create a document where I have the details of the
job in more depth and also create a presentation.
