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

Get to know Yulian: When inquired about his outlook on the summer internship program, Yulian exuded enthusiasm in acquiring invaluable insights into various aspects of Project Management and Construction. He eagerly looks forward to learning from his colleagues and gaining hands-on experience. Yulian's passion for Civil Engineering blossomed from his profound interest in mathematics and science during his academic years.

In the cutthroat world of civil and structural engineering, the term 'internship' often gets thrown around as a magic solution for migrant and graduate engineers struggling to break into the 👩🏽💻🙇🏽 Australian job market. But here's the harsh reality: not all internships are created equal. The difference between a generic internship and a well-structured, engineer-developed program can be the line between career success and continued joblessness.

Chris previews tomorrow's podcast episode with Bridget Austin, a junior studying Civil Engineering at Penn State University who shares her summer internship experience at Mascaro Construction. #buildingpa #workforce #internship #futureworkforce #construction #constructionindustry #constructionpodcast

It is amazing all of the things I have learned over the course of this internship. I have learned the importance of measuring twice and cutting once, I learned how to shoot grade for the structure of buildings and how important that is with how thick the concrete needs to be. I have also been taught the importance of laying sewer lines and the slope for the best drainage. #Everbuilt #CTEInternship

As I am now a few months into my internship, I can say I have learned a lot. The knowledge that has been provided to me during this internship is unforgettable and much appreciated! Here is a list of a few things I have learned: - How to set up, use, and properly layout a site using GPS equipment. (Pictured Below: 2 gate Values and a Tee) - How to correctly calibrate a site utilizing GPS equipment. - How to mathematically check interferences in new utilities with existing utilities. - A better understanding of plan reading. - How to wet tap a waterline, without shutting it down. - How to do topsoil cut and fill calculations. - A better understanding of how to correctly install utilities per an engineer's standards. #indianaCTE #internships #architecture @AsherAlden Southern Indiana Career & Technical Center #KobersteinContracting #careertecheducation @SICTCEngineering&ArchitectureAlumni J.

This is definitely not my wheelhouse, but I know I have some connections on here that knew my dad out in Oak Ridge and were/are in construction management. Does anyone have connections or insight for a friend of mine who is in school for civil engineering that will be looking for an internship this summer? #internship #constructionmanagement #civilengineering #structuralengineering

Why do an apprenticeship in construction? 💭 An apprenticeship is a job with training, allowing you to earn money while you gain skills for your career. You’ll benefit from both hands-on and classroom-based learning. Unlike university, you’ll finish without any student debt. 💸 You can start an apprenticeship as soon as you leave school. Whether you want to become... ▶️ An engineer ▶️ A carpenter ▶️ A designer ▶️ Or a project manager ...there’s an apprenticeship out there that will help you fulfil your ambition. 🔗 Get started today: https://bit.ly/44lMTNW #ConstructionFAQs #Construction #GoConstruct #apprenticeship #yourfuture #yourcareer #engineer #designer #projectmanager #architecture #nextsteps #earnmore #earnandlearn #learning #bricklayer #plastering #plumbing #civilengineering
