Mechanical Engineer Co-op

January - July 2023 • Andover, MA

What I liked

What I liked most was the amount of experience from those who I worked with. Several engineers had at least 10 years of prior experience, including in and out of the company. as well as from other topics of engineering besides Medical Devices. I also enjoyed the various skills I learned and developed as well. I developed my skills in machining 3D CAD (Solidworks), machine shop, 3D Printing, experiment performance and development, among others.

What I wish was different

One thing I wish was different was lab notebook submission. I had a lot of reports to write that had to go into a lab notebook. Unfortunately, instead of having a digital notebook, these were printed out and put into an actual physical notebook.
