What I learned
Design parts with a professional CAD workflow in SolidWorks.
Design parts with cost and manufacturability in mind.
Put as much effort into meeting my team members as I put in my work
Third party help could be a huge time save, but also have an in house back up plan. Manufacturers are often unresponsive or unhelpful.
Always note down all constraints such as measurements; take many pictures.

Brain Corp was my first look into the real-world work life culture. My productivity and understanding of my role is a lot more used to school project teams as opposed to work teams. I especially have trouble understanding the hierarchical dynamic between my team members and me.
I thrive when I am working simultaneously with my team, as opposed to working at my own pace. I like being able to ask for help right when I need it; I appreciate feedback and direction.

This was a really fun job that was both easy while still making me an expert in many skills. I did homework or played VR games half the time, but was able to repeatedly practice my skillset when needed. My ability to adapt and problem solve on the spot really shined when I need to help a customer with his print while fixing three other failing prints while making sure the reservation times are not delayed.
