Mechanical Engineering Intern

May - August 2019 • Franklin, TN

What I liked

Great employee environment and family atmosphere. I worked half the summer with the sales group and half the summer with the engineering group. When with the sales group, I learned how to use Bluebeam Revu to mark up blueprints and learned the basics of budget preparation for small to medium-sized construction projects. When with the engineering group, I learned the basics of calculating heat loads with Trace 700, and I used AutoCAD for HVAC system drawings. I went on job site-walks a few times throughout the summer and got to participate in budget meetings. Everyone I worked with was very helpful and willing to answer questions I had.

What I wish was different

Sometimes the work was a little slow. I would have preferred to have been given greater responsibilities and to have had a more consistent work load.

Advice

Enjoy the internship and don't be afraid to ask questions. When I first started the internship last summer, I was nearly clueless about HVAC systems. I was continually encouraged to ask questions. I did, and I found that everyone was eager to answer the questions I had. Be proactive. Don't expect to be spoon-fed everything you need to know about HVAC. If there is a time when the work is a bit slow, use it to read up on HVAC systems and learn all you can.
