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

Over the past summer, I had the pleasure of returning to Procter & Gamble in their Grooming BU in Boston, Massachusetts. It was another great internship experience that allowed me to further expand my skills and knowledge in a dynamic and innovative environment. During my 12-week internship, I was assigned four challenging technical projects. Firstly, I worked on improving lubrication strip coil wrap quality by developing a vision system that provided valuable feedback for process control. Secondly, I was tasked with automating a linear lab stage to simulate assembly equipment movement in real time, enhancing our lab's capabilities. Additionally, I collaborated with the manufacturing team on a project to upgrade a light and lens for our blade assembly machines, aiming to improve inspection quality and address obsolescence. Lastly, I conducted proof-of-principle testing for timestamping between our vision and control networking devices, while also exploring the features of our vision system platform. Throughout the internship, the skill I utilized the most was problem-solving and troubleshooting. I encountered numerous challenges and setbacks during various projects. However, I learned to adapt and find new solutions, applying the knowledge gained to prevent future setbacks. This skill was crucial in maintaining progress and achieving project goals. The technical skill that I utilized the most during my internship was becoming proficient in our vision system platform's software and hardware. This software was instrumental in multiple projects, requiring daily interactions for different functions and devices. By spreading and reapplying my learnings, I was able to contribute effectively across all projects. Moreover, I recognized the significance of the vision system in the future of our business and the Instrumentation department. The most valuable lesson I learned from this internship experience was taking ownership of my work and capabilities. I realized the extent of my accomplishments and how I successfully adapted to a steep learning curve within a relatively short timeframe. I am truly grateful for the support of my technical network, mentors, and leadership, as their investment in my professional and personal growth played a pivotal role in my success. Special thanks to my manager Robin Ryce, intern lead Himali Ranade, M.Eng, MBA, and my leadership Adam Lennartz , Kevin Martin , and Karan Dyson. I am excited about the future and eager to apply the skills and knowledge I gained during this experience for my senior year at the University of Dayton School of Engineering. #udaytoncoopintern

Finding an internship is hard. I struggled to find my first internship while studying mechanical engineering at University of Wisconsin-Madison. The reality is that most students actually do not find an internship - the most reliable data we can find reports that only 30% of college students have an internship on an annual basis. No matter your major, previous experience, or year in school, pre-internships & career accelerators can improve your chances at landing an internship. Our virtual programming at Internship on Demand is designed to upskill college students ahead of their next (or first) internship. Share with a college student and help them kickstart their career journey today. https://lnkd.in/gyeRgbnq

Gen Z in Manufacturing Ep. 9: Taking Risks at Internships and Finding Meaning Full Time This video Gen Z in Manufacturing: Finding Purpose and Passion caught our eye, and it's a must-watch for anyone in manufacturing, especially those looking to attract young talent. The video features Bryce Walters, a 26-year-old manufacturing robotics engineer at Lockheed Martin, who shares his journey and perspective on the industry. Here are some key takeaways: Finding purpose: Manufacturing might not be the first field that comes to mind when you think of meaningful careers. But for Walters, knowing his work contributes to national security brings a sense of fulfilment.  This highlights the importance of showcasing the impactful projects young engineers can work on in manufacturing. The value of hands-on experience:  The video underscores the importance of revamping internships to resonate with Gen Z.  Walters emphasises that interns crave hands-on experience and taking ownership of projects, not busy work.  Manufacturing companies can take note: invest in quality internships that provide real-world challenges and mentorship. Importance of taking risks in internships: Bryce Walters emphasises how his early internship at a small company allowed him to take risks and learn quickly. He suggests that companies give interns challenging projects and the freedom to experiment, fostering a culture where risk-taking is encouraged for accelerated growth. Mentorship matters: Walters credits mentorship as a key factor in his development. This reinforces the need for strong mentorship programs to foster well-rounded young talent in manufacturing.

Happy National Intern Day to all of my connections interning this summer! While I haven't gotten the opportunity to intern this summer, I'd love to emphasize the importance of taking advantage of the opportunities given to you in a internship, something that I didn't do enough of last year as an Electrical Engineering Intern at Motorola Solutions. Maintain good relationships and network as much people as you can, especially the people you work with directly. Ask many questions during meetings to show your interest. Learn as much technical skills as you can, whether by using company funded online resources, borrowing textbooks owned by the company or by asking your co-workers directly. Most of all, learn what the company is all about as much as possible for all sectors in the general sense to learn the bigger picture of what you're doing, as well as to truly learn what you want to do long term! Best of luck on finishing off your internships strong with the goal of landing a full-time offer! #Internship #NationalInternDay #Networking
