Experienced great mix of field work and office work. Was exposed to vast and varying aspects of process/chemical engineering career. Shadowed senior engineers and learned their responsibilities around the plant, usually assigned to a specific unit. Got to first hand witness the complexity of a oil refinery/ chemical plant and all the aspects that come together to make it work.
What I wish was different
Wish my internship lasted longer.
Advice
Do not be afraid to go for an internship, co-op or job that's out of your comfort zone. It may be intimidating at first but ultimately it results in personal growth and development.
