Electrical Proceedings Intern

Some people had a bit of a sour mood because of recent company events, but that's understandable.

Mechanical Engineering Intern
June - August 2018 • Avila Beach, CA
What I liked
I loved my time at DCPP. I worked for the Primary Systems Engineering Department and really enjoyed getting out in the field and seeing all the systems.
What I wish was different
I wish my time there was longer.
Advice
Meet as many people as you can, and just remember that if you are ever feeling timid or shy, you got hired there for a reason. They thought you would be a good fit for their workplace, and keep that in mind when you go to your job. Make the most of your day and learn as much as you can from others.
