Description of the Organization

JR Automation is company who automates processes such as assembly lines and welding. They are a rapidly expanding company who is definitely headed in the right direction. About 500 or so people work in four different business units.

Description of the Tasks/Projects Completed

As a controls intern at JR Automation I was tasked with a variety of goals and jobs. This could have ranged from computer programming and debugging to swapping parts in and out of a machine trying to find the perfect solution to setting up a camera to accurately analyze a part.

Skills/Knowledge Gained Through The Experience

Throughout this internship I learned what it's like to be at the bottom of the food chain yet still respected and understood. It was an awesome place to work, not only because of how exciting it was but the people there were very welcoming and helpful with any problems I had.

Favorite Part of the Experience

My favorite part about this experience was that everything was different. Everyday was different. You can't really fall into a boring rut because each project has a different requirement, task, or problem for you to overcome. That's something I look for in a work environment.

How the Experience Influenced Future Career Goals

I know that I have picked the right field for study because of how much I enjoy working on projects like I have already. I don't think I have experienced enough to make a decision on my future career specifically, however I know that Engineering is where I want to be. It is so rewarding to see how you can make a difference after all of your hard work not just physically but also mentally.
