“I really liked working with my hands, training my soft skills, and seeing my work be immediately used. One of the main projects I worked on was creating and updating assembly processes for the new OI Analytical production area. Many of these procedures either were just a single or set of engineering drawings or a short list of notes connected to the drawings. My task was to transfer those procedures into a new, much more user friendly and easier to follow online guide-style website, by taking hundreds of pictures and explaining every part being added. I was given the freedom to rearrange steps and find the best ways and tools to complete the assemblies. I also worked with operation staff and engineers to create the guides and then also helped train staff in assembling the things I had written guides for. I learned and practiced many skills, such as soldering, assembling tubing systems, and training others. I also liked the casual environment and having a general set of tasks to complete. Overall, I really enjoyed it and learned and practiced many new skills.”

“I enjoyed the atmosphere. It's a very welcoming and casual environment. Talking and working with people in and out of my department was very easy which allowed things to be done with out impediments. I learned a lot about the many aspects of solidworks and also about how some companies go about CAD product design through helpful and constructive criticism.”
