What I wish was different
Apart from obviously wishing the experience was in person, because nothing can fully replace that, I wish we had more project-based time instead of just virtual leaning and simulation-type projects. Towards the end of the internship we were given an actual GE aviation project regarding an NPI (new product introduction) and we had to put into practice the entire decision making process as well as manufacturing and production, analytics skills, facilities layout, product pricing, market analysis, cost-out, reporting, etc. This was by far the greatest take away of my internship and I wish we had longer, would have started from the beginning on this, or could have gone even more in depth.
