Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC)

“I was given two projects through my co-op where one was given to me by my mentor and the other was for all the interns to work together. Our group project dealt with creating a communication and jamming session, which was very informative and learned a lot about how to apply my learning to real life applications. The other project was taking a base code and modifying it, so that my section that I worked under didn't have to manually do a task. I loved how throughout the internship all our supervisors and mentors were informative and friendly. They had us going to classes throughout the summer to learn about the air force and different areas that we could potentially work in all while giving us enough time to work on our projects.”

“From this experience, I really liked the freedom I had when working. Although my supervisors were always there to guide me and answer any questions I had while I worked, they also gave me the space and creative freedom to figure things out for myself. More than that, I liked that I was able to witness and experience a lot of cool things, not only in the facility I worked in, but also in different places on base. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming, and I really loved working there over the summer.”
