In the last ten years I have spent my time working in the automotive industry while attending school mostly part time. When time came to a close and the internship loomed, I was certain that I would do something where I was already working. A typical work week is between 50-60 hours then I add school and kids into the mix. I knew that my boss would be open to the idea of an internship on the job. My extra hours were not paid as I am salary and sometimes I would even work weekends, if something was pressing. For my internship specifically I knew there was a project that needed to be done and I took ownership of it. During the next semester I would create and manage a Lesson’s Learned PFMEA, which would help carry over any previous corrective action items for past problems in order to avoid reoccurring costs and issues in the company. Since I was already familiar with the Benteler policies my focus to begin was completely on my project. Over the course of many weeks I would develop a Lesson’s learned PFMEA in which I would need multiple disciplines involved in order to make a functional document. In the beginning I focused most of my time in understanding each OEM’s standards on PFMEA (Process Failure Mode Effects Analysis) and although it did meet many of the OEM’s standards I would learn that some OEM’s did not like the formatting. Another thing that was learned through this experience is that it was hard to get help in the beginning when people do not understand what
Through a partnership with Northrop Grumman, I develop my own projects with mentorship from a team of engineers. During my junior year, I utilized Java Eclipse and Android to develop and copyright a mobile application that digitized my high school’s school map, making navigation much easier for students. Due to my spectacular performance, Northrop Grumman offered me a paid summer internship. In collaboration with a team of my peers and the public works superintendent of the Fairfield Waterworks facility, I built a robot capable of diagnosing cracks and leaks in water main pipes. Over the summer, I also attended an eight-hour workshop about soldering electronics. This project garnered several awards at the Ohio State Technology and Engineering Showcase. Now, I am currently developing a low-cost Arduino-powered smartphone with WiFi capabilities.

Over time cars may break down or get worn out. For an example, engines can give out, break, or fall apart. In addition, tires need to be changed every once in awhile when they wear out; oil needs to be changed or else it will destroy the engine. If people did not have mechanics how would they get around when their vehicles break down? To become an automobile mechanic, it is crucial to prepare through the appropriate schooling and training, to understand what the job itself entails, and to know the potential outlook for the job.
Every business in the trucking industry will rely at some point in its lifespan on financing in one form or another. This is true for small start up trucking enterprises just beginning to build a reputation, to large nationwide fleet’s that are always looking for new opportunities for growth. The true question becomes which type of financing is right for your company at your state of development. Typically, trucking company owners will consider bank loans as a first means of securing funding during a period of slow growth or a cash flow emergency. However, because the trucking industry is considered fickle by most institutions, many banks are hesitant to offer loans or lines of credit at all.

I have recently begun my internship, which is scheduled to last one year. In this year I am expected to complete at least one thousand hours. I received a sheet of paper with three suggested internship sites. I was very distressed to learn none of these sites had any substance abuse. I went back to the administration which distributed the sheet and asked for an internship site with substance abuse. I received the information for CSEDNY. I was a little shocked to learn I would be mostly working with court mandated substance abuse; however I did not want to cause the administration distributing the internship sites too much of a headache so I accepted the internship. I have met my supervisor. I honestly like my supervisor so far. She seems very nice and excited to work with me.

At first I was really excited to ask questions related to the field that I am entering. I was also hoping that this would help me have a better idea of how it is to work in an automotive shop or a dealer. I had some concerns regarding the automotive field and what would be the best question for me to ask. I wanted to understand how different could be to work on a dealer that specialize in just some specific brands or an independent shop that work in any type of car. At first I was going to interview one of my dad’s friends whom had been on the field for some years now. He had mostly work on independent shops and he talk to me once and mentioned how he had his own mobile “shop” which I thought was really fascinating. Then I started to question
An auto mechanics job is to work on automobiles, A.K.A, vehicles/cars. It is a very important job because; if we didn’t have auto mechanics many peoples’ cars wouldn’t work correctly. Automotive mechanics can be a boy or a girl, and they can work on almost any type of vehicle if they have the right qualifications. Some auto mechanics; like my grandfather, can work on many types of automobiles such as four wheelers, cars, SUV’s, trucks, and sometimes big rigs. Fixing big rigs is not the job of an auto mechanic it is often the job of a diesel mechanic but, some auto mechanics can and do work of big rigs. Automotive mechanics of all kinds are very important in our society today.
It is easy to become engulfed in an internship where you enjoy completing tasks and the mission of the agency. I feel as though this agency does not only concern completing required tasks for the today, but assisting other employees as well. It is imperative that I complete all my tasks efficiently, and assist others with tasks when the opportunity presents itself. I have come to accept the fact that as long as I do not have issues in other areas of my life due to the motivation of having a high desire to succeed and achieve excellence, there is no problem. In the future, if my strong work ethic hindered my mental, emotional, physical, or personal being then I will consider other avenues to explore. Currently, I am developing a weekly self-care plan that will implement an element of balance between academics, internship, and
There was a time before cars. People had to take horses everywhere and relied on horses. They had to do all of their field and horses require a lot of space and resources. Then came the steam engine technology. The main use of the steam engine technology is the the railway system setup. They use coal to heat up water. The the expanding water would push a piston back and forth to create energy. The only problem with this technology is it used a lot of coal to heat the water and it was very dangerous. The other problem was it wasn’t very compact. Steam engines are very large and even if you made a steam engine made to fit in a modern car they wouldn’t produce
In order for this nation to properly function, its members must be able to fill out various work loads. Some build, others manage, some even teach the younger generations in order to prepare them for the future, and to continue the work cycle. I have my eyes set on making a contribution to society by becoming an automotive technician. My goal, at first, will be auto repair. Long time goals will to be to build onto that, perhaps go into aircraft and heavy machinery maintenance. The reason on why I’m interested in this line of work is that some members of my immediate family is involved, and that I’ve always taken a liking towards cars, repairing, modifying, and maintaining them. The added bonus of cheap opportunities of schooling coupled
Over the first month of my new internship, I had the opportunity to work on new projects and experience many new things. For instance, my supervisor gave me the responsibility of inventing a new program for the Superdome. When the idea was presented and approved, I then was in charge of creating the marketing campaign. The new program was to introduce the idea of having a company picnic or company outing at the Superdome to large corporations. They would be able to rent out the entire Dome, 80,000 square feet of field space, as well as a party room and outdoor fields to use for their employees and employees’ families.
