Systems Engineer
March - August 2019 • Phoenix, AZ
What I liked
Working with a small group of individuals who were always willing to help and offer advice. Three Embry-Riddle Alumni were also working there which was great to get their take on what I should look at doing to better my future.
What I wish was different
Asked more questions! Everyone had so much advice to give (not just about my job/duties), but after college advice, work place, expectations for employers, what to look for in a great company that focuses on their employees.
Advice
Don't be afraid to talk to your co-workers, especially manager. They all had so much to talk about, and were excited to share their experiences as interns themselves, and what they wish they would have done differently.

Engineering Process Intern
May - August 2019 • Milwaukee, WI
What I liked
One thing that I really enjoyed was living on my own, away from both home and school. I feel like I got a small taste of what it will really be like to work after I graduate. I also enjoyed working for an aerospace company.
What I wish was different
I wish I had asked for more opportunities early on.
Advice
Do not be afraid to be honest with your manager about your long term career goals. Even though they need to look out for what is good for the company, they are still excited to help you achieve your goals, even if they might be elsewhere.
