Brandywine Photonics

Electrical Engineering Intern

August - December 2019 • Exton, PA

What I liked

Had my own personal project to do as well as helping and supporting various other projects. Got a chance to visit NASA Goddard and check out the inside of some of their clean rooms.

What I wish was different

More team based projects. Most of the time I was alone working away. I wish I had reached out more often for more interaction and help.

Advice

Don't be afraid to take initiative. I wish I had spoken out more for help or for more work.

Physics Intern

April - September 2019 • Exton, PA

What I liked

I learned a lot about Optics and coding and found joy in accomplishing large tasks. The company was good at helping me and expecting quality work from me. I got to visit nasa, Lockheed Martin, and Boston to present products I had created while there.

What I wish was different

The work was a little stressful, and at times I felt overwhelmed. The company is also located far from where I live, which impacted my attendance.

Advice

Don't doubt yourself, but ask for help when you need it. Usually if nobody else knows the answer, they'll at least know where to look.
