Vehicle Engineering Design Intern
May - July 2020 • Melbourne, FL
What I liked
Working at Northrop Grumman was an incredible and rewarding experience. I was fortunate enough to be able to complete my internship on site. I learned so much about the industry, engineering processes, and collaboration. I learned new software, and made a ton of connections networking. The people were super helpful and friendly.
What I wish was different
I decided to commute from Daytona Beach to Melbourne. I would not do that again. If the opportunity arises, I would definitely move for the summer. The drive is exhausting after awhile.
Advice
Be willing to learn as much as you can and don't be afraid to ask questions. No one expects you to have all the answers already.
