Structural Engineering Intern
May - August 2019 • Appleton, WI
What I liked
I was allowed a lot of freedom within the role. I was taught plenty and made sure to learn a lot as well but when I was handed projects I was given a lot of autonomy in what I did. I also got to work on a variety of projects some involving doing simple drawings, some from a more managerial role, and some just maintenance.
What I wish was different
I felt like I wasn't given enough work early on. This wasn't necessarily their fault as things were in flux because of facilities changing.
Advice
Don't be afraid to ask questions and lean on tribal knowledge. Also, even if things appear good on the outside, you have no idea what is happening behind the scenes.

Structural Engineering Intern
May - December 2017 • Savannah, GA
What I liked
I liked that I was able to feel like any other entry level engineer. It took a while to get my skills so that my supervisors can trust me, but i was never just twiddling my fingers. I always had something to do. I attended meeting with top level officers and customers, and actually made a direct impact in the production of the aircraft.
What I wish was different
I wish I would have had more goals, with one big task to do, instead of small to medium tasks.
Advice
Don't be afraid to talk to people and showcase your skills.

Systems Liaison Intern - IT Procurement

Everything was great.

Gulfstream wants to find people that will work hard and show up to work every day. Apply to as many internships there that you might even be a little bit qualified for.

Engineering Co-op
January 2019 • Savannah, GA
What I liked
Level of work provided was similar to an entry level position. Everybody at the company was very willing to help me learn anything I didn’t know.
What I wish was different
The ability to chose departments we want to explore more would have been nice. They allow you to make a list of your top three, but it is not always fulfilled.
Advice
Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Being proactive is the best thing you can do in industry. If you are not sure about something, ask, being that this is aerospace it is important to get things right the first time around.

Flight Controls System College Intern
May - August 2018 • Pooler, GA
What I liked
I always felt welcome within my team despite being put into an area partly outside of my academic coursework. The company culture is amazing and countless opportunities to construct a successful career exist. I learned invaluable skills which I would not have learned through my coursework, such as 3D CAD design and working on avionics parts.
What I wish was different
I wish I could have worked on more projects involving heavier coding or working on electronic systems whether than solely avionics parts and structures. (Main reason for the lack of projects involving coding/electronic systems was due to my department being between FCC revisions)
Advice
Network with your co-workers and try to visit other departments and areas within the company.

ERP Supply Chain Fulfillment Intern
June - August 2018 • Savannah, GA

Manufacturing Quality Intern
June - August 2017 • Savannah, GA
What I liked
Such a great work environment, still feels like a small company so everyone is very personal and willing to talk to you even as an intern, even if you're in an entirely different department. Very proud of product and very hands on.
What I wish was different
Gulfstream pays by graduation year, which in a five year program isn't ideal.
Advice
Gulfstream is very open to seeing other departments, for example, I saw Flight Test while I was a Manufacturing Intern. If your boss doesn't take the initiative to show you different things, ask around and see if someone will take you, because it's much easier to see different departments and experiments than you'd expect.
