Mechanical Engineering Intern

May - August 2017 • Bedford, MA

What I liked

Very supportive, collaborative, and motivating environment. Everyone genuinely was interested in helping out the interns and getting them involved with projects. Collaborated both with other interns and full time staff. Encouraged to try out all ideas, use with 3D printing, machining, instron, and other equipment and technology. Given much freedom with projects.

What I wish was different

Sometimes the incoming project work was slow if they were waiting on documentation, etc., but you could always find something to do.

Advice

If you're interested in any project someone is working on and want to learn more, don't hesitate to ask - people will willingly explain to your their project and you may be able to help out with it as will. This internship is what you make of it, find something you're interested in there and try to work on it.
