Reviews

Mechanical Engineering Intern

May 2024 - August 2024 Dayton, OH
“I really seemed to enjoy how UDRI as a whole took care of their interns, they gave us plenty of experiences to network with others our age throughout the summer despite working in other areas or buildings. This may not work for everyone but if you decide to go another route in your future career then that advice or understanding could be extremely helpful. The individuals that I worked around were always open to help but not afraid to let me figure out problems on my own in order to grow. UDRI and the digital transformation center as a whole is a great place to be as there are plenty of individuals interested in your work and interested in expanding their knowledge.”

Mechanical Engineer Intern

“I really liked how welcoming and understanding my boss and coworkers were. They knew I was new to this and that I had football and classes to take as well so they were very flexible with my time. I liked that they gave me real tasks and put me on projects with other engineers. I felt very independent but I knew that if I every got stuck or did not know how to do something I could always fall back on someone on the team. Overall I felt very welcome and and learned a lot of skills applicable to my major. ”
