I liked my mentor a lot, as he was easy to talk to and approachable for the most part
What I wish was different
I wish I had more to do. I wish more people took an active role in trying to train me. My manager in charge of me barely talked to me and pawned me off on my mentor. at no point was I ever evaluated to make sure I was learning stuff, or even being useful to the company.
Advice
Ask yourself if you are learning enough from this job to be able to go to a competitor and get hired to do something similar. for me, the answer was no.

Manufacturing Engineering intern
May 2017 • Auburn Hills, MI
What I liked
The hands on experience helped me understand the automotive industry to the fullest. This helped me visualize my future career after I graduate. Some people choose a pathway and don’t know what to expect after they graduate, internships help students visualize their future realities.
What I wish was different
Sometimes you don’t get exposed to different parts of the industry. This sparks interests and keeps interns filled with questions about how certain processes work. In order to really know a company, you must understand the steps it takes to create a product or service.
Advice
Don’t settle for a certain position till you’ve experienced other parts of the field. Get a better understanding of all the positions offered in a specific field and choose what your heart desires.

Complete Seat Design Engineering Intern
April 2017 • Auburn Hills, MI
What I liked
How I was not treated like a typical "intern" I got amazing real world experience working together with the customer to design a seat
What I wish was different
I wish I was more motivated to do more. I felt like in this rotation I lacked motivation because I had other things outside of work going on.
Advice
Always give an idea, even if you think it may be stupid. You never know the outcome.
