Summer Intern
Department: Engineering and Design
My experience
Overview
I worked to create "communications drawings" on AutoCAD which basically means I drew out what the connections of the components of the microgrid on the site will look like. With this, engineers that built the projects on site will be able to understand how to connect things to one another and under what bit addresses information will flow. In addition, I generated Human-Machine Interface code so that the generators that were installed on site could both be controlled and monitored from monitors.
I am confident that the experience would have been vastly different and superior if corona had not hit, but the company was very kind enough to move us to a virtual medium instead of just canceling the internship, which would have been horrible for myself and my other interns. I am very thankful and it is just indicative of the effort that this company puts into its interns
Would recommend it to people who...
Enjoy design work and working with engineering software
Would NOT recommend it to people who...
Want hands on experience
Impact of work
How much knowledge or experience was needed going in (pre-requisites)?
Time spent working
How did working remote affect your experience?
I worked mostly on software and design aspects of the projects, rather than the electrical sides for which I signed up. It was still valuable though

Advice on how to prepare
One interview was with the recruiter which was behavioural, and another interview was with a panel of engineering managers who gauge if you could be used in their departments
