What I wish was different
Overall I enjoyed my experience at Hohman. I wish there was a clearer and more defined path for new co-op on the job training. I felt that that aspect was a little rushed at the beginning, and there wasn't a clear vision of how co-ops should be trained. However, I asked a lot of questions throughout my term, and there was always someone willing to help me with what I was doing and make sure I was doing it correctly. In addition, while not a bad thing, me being the only quality co-op meant I was usually only tackling the day-to-day regular work of a Quality tech, without much time to tackle more "engineering-based" projects. That being said, there are opportunities to flex your engineering mind and problem-solving muscles no matter what tasks you are assigned. I found plenty of ways to use critical thinking at Hohman and certainly made the most of my time there.
