I really enjoyed being in the program where it was encouraged to go on site tours and take advantage of learning opportunities. Not only did I learn so much in my unit about how they carry out design plans for pipelines - I learned about other units such as watersheds, construction, and asset management! I began to understand how they all worked together to get water to Santa Clara County.
What I wish was different
I wish that they were able to offer jobs at the end - they cannot because it is apart of the government.
Advice
Take initiative to network and connect with others. Do not be afraid to reach out to experienced engineers and ask them for advice.
