The thing that surprised me the most about my internship was how fast it went by. I really enjoyed the three weeks I spent at AMPT I wish it had lasted longer. I was also surprised that all the aspects of engineering they taught me came so easily. It wasn't hard at all to design and build my temperature conditioner.
My goal during my internship was to complete my project and learn as much about engineering as I could. Talking to people and asking questions was challenging for me because I am naturally really shy, but by the time my internship ended it was a lot easier for me to ask questions.
This whole experience was a lot different than I thought it would be. I didn't really know what to expect before I began, and I learned a lot more than I expected. Overall it was an incredible experience and it totally reaffirmed my ambitions to become an engineer.
Over the past three weeks I had several incredible learning experiences. I was able to shadow a few people and learn about software, business, and helped one of the engineers make adjustments to the test stand. I also learned how to draw a prototype design, make a wiring diagram, and how to collect and analyze the data from tests. I was also given lots of good advice about engineering from the people at AMPT:
"Don't reinvent the wheel if you don't have to"
"The first rule of engineering is to see what other people have done and look for improvements to make" "You've got baller engineer skills" :)
