Field Engineer/Project Engineer Internship
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Helvetica Neue]I am working as an engineering intern for a construction company this summer. I am actually a Mechanical Engineering major and will be a Senior next year. So far I like the internship...it is quite different from a design engineering internship (at least from what I can tell so far). I like the fact that I get to do a little of everything (business, planning, project management, engineering, etc). No I don't design anything, but it seems like a good way to gain overall engineering experience. Would you disagree?[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Helvetica Neue]Anyways, if I decided I liked the internship, I would be hired on after I graduate and the goal would be to become a Project Engineer.[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Helvetica Neue]I have a few questions for those of you who have experience as a field/project engineer or those of you who know something about the position.[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Helvetica Neue]1. If I decided I wanted to be a design engineer sometime in the near future, would the skills of a project engineer be appealing or transferable to a design engineer position?[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Helvetica Neue]2. What are your general opinions on the project engineering position? Good experience, bad experience, etc?[/FONT][/COLOR]
