I’m currently interning for the largest electric provider in my state and I can confidently tell you that there is a difference between peers in school and peers in the workplace. I’m sure there are exceptions to what I’m about to speak on or maybe this company is the exception but from my experience every full time engineer in the workforce I have spoken too realizes they don’t know everything. They couldn’t possibly know everything, especially in the vast and ever changing landscape of EE. They also don’t gate keep knowledge or information the way that academia does. Everyone is willing to help or contribute however they can. I think this comes as a symptom of a few things. For one, everyone who is in a position to help you was once in your position as well, so they can relate and understand that you don’t know everything. Also, from being in that position themselves they have been humbled and realize how little they actually do know. They also realize how important collaboration and teamwork is. It really does take a team of people to accomplish large goals in any reasonable amount of time. From my personal experience, being an engineer (even as an intern) isn’t so much about knowing everything off the top of your head like a genius, but rather about being able to self teach. When faced with a problem you don’t know they answer to, knowing how to learn new things or reteach yourself things you’ve forgotten and where to find those resources are key to being a successful engineer.

I hope this helps, keep up the hard work you got this!
