Manufacturing Engineering Intern

April 2021 • Cheraw, SC

What I liked

I like how the internship is project-based. I was told what to do and some information about the project. Whenever I had questions I would ask whoever gave the project or one of the operators on the floor. Since school started back they allowed me to work Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 1:30 to 5. Still, even, my boss lets me take off work for school and other events/activities.

What I wish was different

I wish the drive would have been shorter. From my house during the summer, it was an hour and 15 minutes about to get there, and I would have to leave by 6:40 at the latest. Living on campus, decreased the time to 50 minutes, which isn't a big difference but I only had to drive three days a week compared to the 5 days a week during the summer.

Advice

Operators are very helpful with answering questions.

Engineering Co-op

May - August 2019 • Wooster, OH

What I liked

Engineering, programming, Finite Element Analysis. Nice people, good work environment.

Less meetings, administration, co-op fairs, etc. It took up about %15-20 of my time.

Mechanical Engineering Co-op

May - August 2019 • Wooster, OH

What I liked

I enjoyed the work given to me by the full-time engineers at the company. The work was meaningful and provided good experience. I do not believe that any of my projects were just "busy-work".

What I wish was different

Nothing for this co-op, I would return to the same department based on my co-op experience with it.

Advice

Take the opportunity to ask questions and learn about how the work you are doing affects the company as whole and if it does. Most students want to make an impact and many of the departments at this company will let you do that if you want.
