Life Science Membrane Engineer Intern

May - August 2020 • Bedford, MA

What I liked

I loved being able to work on my own project while still having people to bounce ideas off of and check my progress along the way.

What I wish was different

I wish it was longer! Internships tend to be great for introducing yourself to a company but to go in depth 6 months would be better.

Advice

Always question experimental results and test the rigorously otherwise you will have weak conclusions that have no real basis.

Process Engineering Intern

May - August 2019 • Billerica, MA

What I liked

My team was very welcoming and got me up to speed as fast as possible. They also gave me a variety of projects to work on, which involved a mix of desk work and lab work. Since everyone on my team had different backgrounds, I was able to learn more about different subject areas, and was sometimes asked to contribute my own expertise.

What I wish was different

Sometimes I had time where I couldn't work on one or more of my projects due to needing lab equipment that was in use for higher priority work. It would've been better to have more desk work tasks to work on during this down time.

Advice

Entegris was a great company to work for and I really enjoyed my internship. It's a good place to intern for someone who wants to feel like an important part of their team and be given a fair amount of responsibilities.
