Business Development Intern
June 2019 • Miami Lakes, FL
What I liked
They provide workshops often on different engineering disciplines that are fun to attend and are very informative and good to benefit on. The workshops include free lunch that which is a plus!
What I wish was different
Maybe in my area as being in the Business development department, might get a bit slow sometimes and they might not have much work for you, so sometimes you just don't have anything to do.
Advice
Try and talk to everybody in the office, everyone is really cool and will always be willing to help you whatever it is you are doing. Also don't be afraid to rotate in between areas or discipline, always be available to go to the field and you will learn a lot.

Environmental Consulting Intern
June - August 2018 • Philadelphia, PA
What I liked
Getting hands on experience with field work.
What I wish was different
I wish I had known who to start talking to in the beginning of my time there to ensure I had made the right connections and had the optimal experience (i.e. have the chance to explore more regions of the company to get a better feel for the industry).
Advice
Make sure to speak up early and often as to what you want to work on and why. Having the opportunity to explore the industry through a company like this does not come too often and it certainly doesn't hurt to put yourself out there and go for what you think you might like. Much better to do that during an internship than to find out half way through your career that you don't like what you do!
