The internship opportunity dealt with testing variety of devices with countless industrial equipment. Many of the devices being tested are specific to a certain industry and is very interesting experience. I enjoy every bit of the work and the variety of knowledge I gained from other techs helped me understand the applications of the concepts that were being taught in the university.
What I wish was different
Having more techs would have been more fun, but it is also true that because of the small number of members that I was able to get to know more about the team.
Advice
Do not get intimidated by the works that you will be given in the beginning because you will be more familiar with the procedures quickly as long as you are careful and pay attention.
