It’s her last day, so we wanted to take a moment to shine a spotlight on one of our interns, Anna Larson! About to go into her sophomore year, Anna is currently working toward a civil engineering degree at the University of Iowa, and we asked her a few questions about her internship experience over the last three months. These were her answers 😊 What have you learned this summer? This summer, I learned about what a career in civil engineering might look like, and how the math and science classes I have at Iowa apply to real projects. I have also learned how to use CAD software, as I had never worked with it before. What has been your favorite experience during your internship? My favorite experience has been working on a large project and seeing it grow from its beginning stages. I've learned the most about engineering here from the ways conflicts in the project are found and then solved, and since more problems occur in larger projects, at the end there's a larger sense of accomplishment. What are your hobbies & interests outside of school and work? At Iowa, I am part of the pep band and the University Lecture Committee, and I will be studying abroad next semester in Valencia, Spain. My hobbies include biking, writing, and cooking. Anna has been fantastic help this summer, and we wish her the best of luck with her time abroad and the rest of her coursework at Iowa! #intern #internspotlight #appreciation #civilengineer #universityofiowa #iowahawkeyes #studentsuccess #teamwork #leechamberlin #civilengineering #landsurveying #engineertoserve
