I very much enjoyed the internship project, it allowed me to experience the engineering process and use that process to create something I can call my own. What I would do differently is not be afraid to submit my designs. I think that was something that really took time for me to fully understand. Something that really went well was how much I learned. I can now create a statement of work (though it would still take revisions), I have an understanding for concepts that I previously didn't know about and above all I got to witness history in the making. I think out of all of it being able to understand and appreciate the work that is being done here is something that I am proud of.
Well yes actually, I do have plans to pursue another internship program. The U.S. Navy and the Office of Naval Research (ONR) holds an apprenticeship program at different naval facilities over the summer. I submitted an application and I hope that I will be accepted. Until then I plan on completing my internship and continuing school. I did make a lot of connections while I was here so we'll see how those contribute in the future.
