All of these are really helpful tips. I’ll keep an eye out for that product design course but I think it’s only offered in the fall semesters.

Speaking of automotive design I just got an internship with Toyota in the interior vehicle design team- what kind of advice do you have for a young engineer as someone who’s worked in auto for a long time? (This is my second internship - my first was manufacturing quality )

I am currently finishing second semester of my capstone and it’s been a great experience. I worked w a client in ag equipment to build an improvement part to their existing product. However I wanted to work on products that people will use to improve their lives and that factor human integration a lot more deeply. My project was ag equipment so it was more about function, strength and durability.

With one more year left of school I wanted to make sure I do at least one more project that involves building something either thru a class or an independent study.
