Internship

Authentic Engineering

Prior to completion of my internship experience, I hoped to gain some useful experience in the field of engineering. Under the guidance of mentor Brandon Patterson, I gained much more knowledge and experience than I could have predicted. To learn about some different fields of engineering in the time I had for the internship, Mr. Patterson set up a three-step project with the intent of drawing questions about certain elements and to learn to perform analysis important to understand. The analysis is widely done on computers today, but the importance of knowing what is happening in the background is crucial. Although pandemic restrictions prevented in-person meetings, we were able to conduct virtual meetings every two weeks to discuss project progress, questions, and next steps.
