Summary
As an aspiring engineer, I am looking for a job where I can gather real-world experience and continue to develop problem solving skills in a professional environment. After spending two summers working as a Fleet Mechanic and the past summer working as a Test Engineering Intern, I have experienced the hands-on portion of engineering. I believe that this experience helps me get step up on other aspiring engineers as I can see what problems may occur that might be originally overseen on paper.
