What I liked
Where do I start? I liked the people, the work environment, the clientele, the way they train employees, and the work they do. When Rice brings interns on, they don't treat them like a kid; they treat them (and train them) like a full time engineer. I have heard so many stories from fellow students where they disliked their co-op or internship because they didn't do anything meaningful, or they were just pencil pushers. During my Co-Op at Rice, I was able to work on multiple projects over multiple states. Rice taught me the significance of knowing statics like the back of your hand; along with being able to learn different software's such as Mathcad, AutoCAD, and Risa in depth. I would go as far as to say my Co-Op helped me get better grades in my more advanced structures classes.
