Attn: Students & Employers 💡 Why Engage in the MDOT TDRP Internship? Let’s take a moment to shine a light on a story that perfectly captures the spirit of the MDOT TDRP Internship—a story of ambition, discovery, and making the most of every opportunity. - Most people simply desire to be valued and respected (It’s not rocket science) Meet Davontray Robinson, a returning TDRP intern, a passionate, outspoken young leader and rising senior in Mechanical Engineering at Prairie View A&M University. This summer, Davontray embraced the role of Field Engineer with the City of Detroit. Fueled by his passion for automobiles, he viewed this position as more than just work; it was a unique chance to delve into transportation infrastructure, gaining insights that give him a competitive edge as he strives to become the best engineer he can be. In his journey with MDOT TDRP, Davontray Robinson has harnessed his skills, determination, and potential, aligning his ambitions with real-world, hands-on experiences. His path has been defined by confidence, consistency, and character—traits that make him a standout both professionally and personally. Davontray Robinson’s story is a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when you approach every opportunity with an open mind and a clear mission. The Future is Now! “Build it, and they will come.”With a new mindset, a new map, and a new mission. “Tray” is a shining example of how transformational experiences are possible for those willing to step up to the challenge and ring the bell . “Find your way. Match your mindset. Be the change that expands your range “ 🫡 👷🏿 #MDOTTDRP #EngineeringExcellence #PrairieViewAMU #MechanicalEngineer #CityOfDetroit #Michigan #TheFutureIsNow #TransformationalLeadership #FutureLeaders #TransportationEngineering

I successfully completed my six months Industrial Internship programme(IIP) at acorn embedded system in that l learn many things.

I have completed my internship on CTTI where we got exposure about TV manufacturing process and how hardware plays a major role in the manufacturing industry

while on my internship program at KCM I was introduced to the knowledge behind the Lazer alignment on a flexible coupling. But why laser alignment? 1. Improved accuracy: Laser alignment provides a high level of accuracy, ensuring that machines and equipment are aligned within very tight tolerances. 2. Increased efficiency: Properly aligned machinery operates more efficiently, which can lead to reduced energy consumption and lower operating costs. 3. Longer equipment life: Misalignment can cause premature wear and damage to machinery, leading to costly repairs and downtime. Laser alignment helps to extend the life of equipment by reducing wear and tear. 4. Improved safety: Misaligned machinery can pose a safety risk to workers, as well as damage products and materials. Laser alignment helps to ensure that equipment is operating safely and effectively. Overall, laser alignment is an important tool for maintaining the performance, efficiency, and safety of industrial equipment.

This summer, I have been taking my final class to complete my degree along with my internship at Towson University Admissions. The class is BUSX 460 (Professional Experience), and so far I have learned important concepts and skills that I consider necessary for my professional career. Root cause analysis (RCA) is one of those skills that I hope to continue practicing and improving on. Feel free to give it a read and let me know your thoughts! #RCA #RootCauseAnalysis

Taking in depth & visual representation of boiler during my internship in JPCL that how boilers are used to produce high pressured steam,so that plant can generate electricity.

To review what I learned from the internship, I learned that a pressure transmitter is connected to this PLC box.

"Thrilled to share that I have successfully completed my Promt engineering internship! 🚀 Grateful for the hands-on experience, collaborative projects, and the opportunity to learn and grow in a dynamic environment. A huge thanks to Slash Mark for the guidance and support throughout this enriching journey. Excited to apply these newfound skills as I continue to pursue excellence in the field of Promt engineering! #internship #internshipcompletion #promptengineering #EngineeringInternship #ProfessionalDevelopment"

That's a wrap! Just finished up today's webinar with Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology (CCAT) and here are some of the top questions we got about how to create a successful internship program: 1. What are some of the ways your internship programs have evolved over time? At Westminster Tool for years we never had a formal program and instead searched for interns for specific projects with applicants of a specific skillset. But we found that we weren't building long-lasting, meaningful relationships from these opportunities. Today, we've changed our approach to focus on how WE can add value to the intern. We search for applicants from all different educational and skill backgrounds and focus on creating goals around their needs. As a result, we have a better chance of inspiring the next generation of manufacturers in our state, and the interns we work with are more likely to want to stay. 2. What are some lessons learned? What are some of the biggest mistakes you've made with interns? The biggest lesson learned is to stop siloing interns in a closed-off area of the business. Even when hiring an intern for super specific project or technical area, it's absolutely critical to expose them to other areas of the business and the rest of your team. Internships are all about professional exploration, not just about completing a project and adding value to the company. So it's important to give that intern a real opportunity to meet new people and explore other career paths. 3. What can small businesses do to get started with building an internship program for the first time? Take advantage of state resources! CT is home to so many different resources for finding applicants and funding programs. Connecticut Center for Advanced Technology (CCAT)'s Internship Program not only gives you access to a whole database of regional applicants looking for manufacturing internships, but also offers wage reimbursement support to help offset those costs.
