Well internship is winding down to a close, so it's time to talk about IPOLs. POLs are something that we do a HTHI once or twice a year, just to review what we have learned and how we will use that in the future.
My POL will rely on a google slides presentation, some notecards and some pictures. It isn't really rocket science. But while getting ready for it, I have had some time to think about this internship of mine. I learned a lot, that much is probably obvious by now (see other blog posts). But aside from learning I feel like I made some quality friends over the past few weeks. I don't know if I will see any of them ever again, but I like to think that I will. I have come to appreciate every piece of technology I use, from a computer to a flashlight, because I now understand all of the thought that goes into everything electronic. Sitting down and designing a circuit is really hard, I am amazed how the indicate components all fit together so well. Overall, I think that I have contributed to this workplace. Perhaps not the groundbreaking sense that I dreamed of, but I am quite proud that I sort of kept up with the engineers. I remember in the first week at lunch someone said, "you are keeping up better than some of our college students, good job" but then the other engineers said "he didn't say you were caught up, just that you aren't as far behind." I found it really funny, and was proud that they thought I was doing a good job. One of my fears about being here was falling behind and not being able to comprehend what everyone was talking about, but I guess I did a pretty good job. In the average day I arrive, knock on the door and get right to work, studying, soldering, or just following someone around asking questions. However much I slowed someone down, I wanted to make up that much with helping them. I will put a group picture here when Rollie sends it to me.
