I would say to make sure you take advantage of any networking opportunities, as well as take note of what different departments in the company do.

Mechanical Engineering Coop
January - August 2018 • Rochester, NY

I wish it had been more structured at the beginning of the coop to give a smoother transition into the company.
Advice
You get out of the experience what you put in, and your work is noticed by more people than you think.

Electrical Engineer Co-op
December 2017 • Salt Lake City, UT
What I liked
At the time that I obtained my position at L3 Technologies I didn't have very much experience in my field of study, and L3 Communication Systems West gave me much more experience. A lot of the things that I learned throughout school were solidified much more because of the great support that I've obtained from my team members.
What I wish was different
At this time, I don't have anything that I wish would have been different. I've gained a lot of experience and really enjoyed all of the great things that I've learned.
Advice
My greatest piece of advice is for fellow students to attend the career services events, because that is one of the main ways that I found out about L3 Technologies. Networking while in school is extremely important and I feel that you can get farther ahead than others by maintaining a strong network of contacts.

What I liked
Great team, great exposure, and LEARNING
What I wish was different
To be longer internship
Advice
Don't be scared of what will be on the other side of the door because you have others that want to help, since you in their team! And definitely research things briefly. It doesn't have to be an hour or hours of research but you have at least knowledge to help understand terms that'll be thrown at you, then it'll be explained much more than you'd expect.
