For me the fields are as different as night and day. I arrive at school around 8:25 but I only have to drive 15 minutes. At work I need to arrive at 8:00 and I have to commute 40 minutes. The work is completely different than school work. I work mostly on writing and designing my project. I have to provide a System Requirements Document, a Technical Proposal Document, an LED table, a schematic, and possibly more. Additionally I have not touched Google Drive in my time working here. The business world prefers Microsoft Office. Additionally the writing and designing I do is formatted very differently and held to different standards than anything I have ever worked on in school. I have learned far more with Microsoft Office than I ever have before, and I need to become accustomed to it if I choose to pursue this career field. I also will take what I have learned about specificity in writing and formatting standards back to High Tech High. As for the engineering things I have learned that it is important getting exposure to concepts rather than doing work in actual areas of the field. It is important to have foundation before diving straight in to these kinds of concepts. As for my time sheet my mentor has been ill and working from home, so those must wait until Monday unfortunately.
