I loved the opportunity to get experience in the industry of electrical engineering. It is very different from anything we are exposed to in our education. I also learned what I want and don't want in a job.
What I wish was different
I wish I could see a window from my desk. I worked on a confidential task force that was housed in the basement of the building and it was difficult to be productive at times and the sun would've helped a lot.
Advice
Even if you aren't sure that you want to go into that field, take any chance you have to gain experience. Even if you find you don't want to make a career out of it, that's still valuable knowledge.

Mechanical design engineer intern
May - August 2019 • Cape Canaveral, FL
What I liked
Incredible place to work. It was inspiring to see rocket launches and history being made. The work was a real application of things I’d learned in computer aided engineering.
What I wish was different
The variety of work was slim. Most of what I did was drafting drawings of parts.
Advice
Soak up every bit of the experience. You’ll miss being able to work on Kennedy Space Center.
