Getting real world experience. I also enjoyed working with the other interns.
What I wish was different
Advice
Ask a bunch of questions! I was really nervous to ask questions at first, but everyone was always super helpful and willing to explain things to me. You're not expected to know everything, so asking questions is super helpful.

Engineering Intern
June - August 2020 • Arlington County, VA
What I liked
I loved the way I was left to do stuff on my own and not coddled but I was still able to ask for help when I needed it. I loved working with other engineers to accomplish a finished product. Overall I really enjoyed my experience!
What I wish was different
I wish I lived closer to the other Engineers that were working with me. It was a little sad that I did all my work via the computer and had little to no in-person meetings. Although that is more understandable with the current pandemic.
Advice
Never be afraid to reach out to professionals to ask questions. You may meet your future boss by just asking for some industry information!
