As National Intern Day approaches, we’re launching a spotlight series highlighting some of the students currently in the Internship Program at French & Parrello Associates (FPA). National Intern Day, held on July 27th, is used as an opportunity to acknowledge and recognize the future leaders of our world. Through this spotlight series, we mean to highlight our appreciation for the Interns at FPA and all the hard work they do. The following is a Q&A with Andrew Cho, an Intern in FPA’s Telecommunications Department. Andrew is a Sophomore at the New Jersey Institute of Technology where he studies Construction Engineering Technology. Q: What has been your greatest takeaway during your Internship at FPA so far? A: My greatest takeaway during my internship at FPA was meeting amazing people and having the experience to work in an office. Going out to site visits has also been a great experience. Q: What would you say is the best thing about interning at FPA? A: The best thing about interning at FPA is the work environment. It is very easy to talk to people and get to know them. Also, whenever I need help, people are willing to help and are very nice. Q: What career path do you hope to take after graduation, and why? A: I hope to find a secure job after my graduation and want to get my engineering license as soon as possible. https://lnkd.in/esiVQtrS

We are back with another intern spotlight! Katarina Dries is the Safety Analysis Engineering Intern. She will be attending UW-Madison this fall as a first-year student. "This internship has really taught me organization and consistency. Not only will I have the theoretical approach from college, but I will have a more practical approach to unexpected problems in the real world that are unlike those in textbooks" #interns #safetyanalysis #engineering #fusion

Every day, our interns experience the power of our decentralized, entrepreneurial culture through their division experiences and the opportunity to participate with our employee resource groups. Sriya Garde, an electrical and computer engineering master’s student at the University of Colorado Boulder and an electrical engineering intern at ITW Food Machines wanted an internship that trusted her to be involved in real work. Through her internship, she has experienced ITW’s entrepreneurial culture through being empowered to engage in the product development process. Q: Why did you choose to intern at ITW? A: I sought an internship where I could engage in product development, from ideation to implementation and manufacturing. During my interview, I learned I would be working on new features for Hobart Mixers and Slicers, which excited me about interning here. Additionally, ITW’s reputation as a Fortune 200 company known for engineering reliable, safe, and durable systems made me eager to be part of its culture. Q: What has been your most enjoyable intern experience this summer? A: While I’ve enjoyed working on innovative projects and collaborating with incredible people at FEG, my top experience has been being a part of the Young Professionals Network (YPN). The events and initiatives organized by YPN are not only fun but also provide excellent networking opportunities with other young professionals at various stages in their ITW careers. This involvement has made me feel connected to a larger community and aligned with those on a similar journey. Q: What has been one of your biggest takeaways from your internship so far? A: The biggest takeaway has been hands-on experience with product development, particularly from an embedded perspective. Working from the ground up on a new feature for a product has been a valuable learning experience. This role has allowed me to explore, implement, and learn from my ideas, giving me a deep understanding of how systems work and the intricacies of the new product development lifecycle. I have gained critical skills and knowledge that are invaluable in understanding the practical applications of my coursework. #ProudToBeITW

We are selective when it comes to hiring. We seek employees that exemplify our core principles (integrity, collaboration, constant innovation, engaging culture and service excellence). The interns we hire are no different. Every year, we are blown away with the work these interns complete and the connections we make, with many returning for a career with Packet Digital. This summer we decided to highlight our current group of interns and share the projects each of them are working on. Each week we will feature an intern, with the first up being Henry Munnich. Name: Henry Munnich Title: Manufacturing Engineer Intern Hometown: North Minneapolis School: North Dakota State University Degree field: B.S. in Industrial Engineering & Management What projects are you working on this summer? A lot. On the Kraus project, I’ve done process engineering and improvement, build instructions, purchasing, battery serial number tracking initiative, build assistance and training people to build. Elsewhere, I’ve successfully mounted a manual welding machine onto a computer-controlled system, built a large storage container, ran the safety line and got it perfectly straight, production floor organization, Indago 4 charger build instructions and assistance, safety signage, documented internal build tracker application so anybody can pick it up and maintain it in the future. I also maintain a binder of all the Safety Data Sheets for chemicals in the building. What skills have you improved since you began your internship with Packet Digital? I have learned a ton about process engineering, business, and management of a manufacturing floor. I started within a month of the new manufacturing facility opening and there has been so much groundwork being laid, it was really surprising how well my classes applied. I get to implement systems that I learned about like 5S audits. I have really improved my building skills and technical writing. I have also improved my prioritization skills because there are so many unknowns as we build momentum as an organization. I have also learned about testing battery packs and the engineering that goes into creating the test fixtures. What are you most excited to learn about for the remainder of your internship? I am most excited to learn more about the new battery manufacturing plant we are creating. But I am also excited to learn more about the upcoming projects we have and help to improve our processes so we can scale their production. #manufacturing #engineering #internships #fargo #northdakota
