What I wish was different
I really enjoyed my first rotation in the detection branch and there is not much that I would change. However, if I had to change something I would have tried to better document my day to day activities and the projects that I worked on. As an engineer, it is very important to record completed work such as collected data or the procedures for testing that was done. Keeping record of this work allows you to stay organized and it gives yourself and other engineers the opportunity to compare it to the recordings of both future and past tests. Early in my rotation, I was not the best at documenting everything that I was doing because I had never had to record my work before. As time went on, I realized the importance of tracking completed work and I wish I would have realized this earlier in my rotation.
