Introduction
The purpose of this report is to give an overall review of my internship during the Spring 2016 semester. I will be discussing the internship orientation process and what I did to prepare for this internship. I will also share about the four primary activities I performed as well as my experiences. The application of technology, sustainable construction and energy and environmental awareness will also be discussed. Communication skill enhancement along with legal and ethical issue awareness are also topics that will be covered. I will also share some of the many lessons I have learned during my internship. Lastly I will discuss my overall assessment of the internship and any recommendations that I may have.
Internship Orientation and Preparation
For the orientation part of my internship I was required to do some items. First off I looked up all the companies that were going to be at the career fair and picked ten that I was interested in. I then researched those ten companies and found out information about them. Second I was required to attend the career fair. Once I was there I went and spoke with all ten companies that I researched. After I spoke with those companies a few of them were interested in me and called me back for an interview. The interviews went really well and all of them asked me to do a site visit on a certain day but after my site visit with History Maker Homes they offered me and I said yes. I was required to turn in a Master Internship
Internship is a six to eight weeks working experience in any organization. The purpose behind doing an internship is to get familiar with a professional working environment. Often students do internships during there vacations so as to gain experience in their field of interest. Students studying engineering, computer science, textiles or business management; they are required to perform at least an internship so as to receive degree from their respective institutions. The purpose of writing this essay is to share my wonderful working experience as an internee at Spyglass Winery. I loved every minute of it as I discovered several new skills and came across with some interesting job opportunities. This statistical analysis (www.fasttrackinternships.com) shows the rate of full time job placements according to the number of internships completed.
The purpose of the proposed study is to explore how interns are influenced by the internship in regards to their career choice. The data will be collected from the three different field sites; Higbee and Associates, Legal Aid Society of Orange County and Public Defenders Office of Santa Ana with assessing total of 50-60 interns who will be participating in these three different field sites. Using the previous studies as a guideline I will use the combination of interviews and questionnaires to assess the attitudes of the interns regarding the before and after the internship. After assessing the interns the proposed study will conduct a follow-up study with the interns after six years to see the impact of the internship on the career
An internship can also heighten the awareness of community issues, motivates to create opportunities, embrace new ideas, and give direction to positive change. A successful internship can provide valuable information in making decisions about the direction of future studies or employment. An internship is an opportunity to not only use and develop industry-related knowledge and skills, but also to enhance some of the skills that are transferable to any professional work setting. For some people, the internship is the first introduction to the world of work. No matter where the skills and understanding of professionalism lie, internship is a chance to develop them even further.
The internship orientation was a three day process. The first day was spent with the human resource department reviewing the employee handbook and completing employment forms. I took a tour of the office and was introduced to the project managers, estimators, administrative assistants, and the IT department. I was taken out to lunch by the same managers that interviewed me at the career fair. The second day was designated for safety. I watched an OSHA video and reviewed the company’s safety manual. Once I completed the video and read through the manual I was able to receive my PPE. Typically on the second day of the orientation, the safety manager takes the new employee to visit a jobsite to view safety hazards and proper safety practices. Due to poor weather conditions, I was unable to attend the safety site visit. On the second day I was scheduled to go to lunch with the executive team. The third day of orientation
As the internship program and the training intended, I have learned much related to my major, Criminal Justice. This internship helped me to acknowledge that qualified, knowledgeable professionals are needed by our complex society to define, administer, and put our rules and standards into force. Like jobs in any other field, to work in the field of law requires expertise. Trained experts are the most desirable to be hired by organizations, tasked to manage justice, to direct their operations. By writing articles for the legal website, I learned to assess law enforcement situations orderly. I learned to make use of the basic legal and management theories to analyze the situations. I got the opportunity to show my understanding of the key process in the U.S. criminal justice system. I also learned to combine approaches from management, law, and the behavioral science to apply them to the situations I was studying.
Internship is a period of work experience offered by an employer to give people (usually college students and graduates) exposure to the working environment. It gives them an opportunity to get first-hand experience. The growing need for practical learning led to the emergence of internship. It helps to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience. Internships in any form- paid, unpaid or co-operative learning has now become a standard practice for college students. It has
The majority of my internship entailed the observation of court proceedings and different parts of the trial process. Through my observation I was able to further build
The internship was a channel to direct my passion for helping others; my supervisor assigned me numerous projects that involved communicating with community leaders. One project was a collaboration with the U.S. Probation Office to reduce recidivism, and it allowed me first hand encounter on how to create policies and procedures to promote community and individual growth. This insight has inspired me to attend law schools to influence legal policies. After the internship, I continued my involvement in the community outreach through the Nutmeg Big Brothers Big Sisters and The Females' Center of Excellence & Leadership, Inc. by mentoring at-risk youths and providing learning opportunities to the youths.
This internship will gain me some experience of working in a collaborative environment with engineers as well as programmers. The tasks are related to the areas of my knowledge and interests. Overall, it’s a great opportunity for me to get my foot in the door of a cooperate world.
However, this internship made me realized that although I still love the field of marketing, I would not work in the telecommunication industry. Despite that this industry continuously

For clarity purposes of this paper, I have listed my original education objective first and it will be followed by details about the progress of achieving that outcome over the course of the internship.
For this experience I obtained through my final year project, in which I need to design and manufacture a simple device. I may need to use some tools I had never use before such as the electric drill. That project is basically about wave energy converter. This experience broaden my knowledge about engineering as general and allows me to learn things that I cannot obtained in class such as real engineering design experience where I need to planed, drew and even manufactured my own design with the help of workshop during my final year project, while in this internship I experience firsthand how to manage and checking an ongoing project in such a huge scale and also how a team should work in big group compared to a small group of 4-5 people in class.
