I am unable to take pictures on base during my internship so the best I can do is tell you some of the stuff I have been doing each day. Go ahead an check it out here. Here is one photo I was allowed to take because I was on civilian soil. This is the view from where I work.
Yes I talked with a computer engineer here whose name is Adrian. He has been very helpful in teaching me how to use C/C++ and problem solve. His job here is to do what ever needs to be done for the other guys in the office. If someone doesn't know how to do something, he figures it out and does it.
I know I want to try and come back here for a summer internship. Also working with this company has me realize what it is really like to actually code. I do want to go to a school that has Computer Science or Computer Programming as a major so I can use that and apply it to many different jobs I could have.
My project changed because my mentor had to go on travel for a week during my internship.
As of right now, I am learning how to code in C/C++ so I can work with interfacing to a radio frequency device that we obtained from a company called ThinkRF. I need to learn how to code in C/C++ and have better problem solving skills. I need support fro my mentor and anyone else who is familiar with coding. As well as customer support from ThinkRF Mentor: Sunil Ramlall
Q: What can I do to be fully ready for what this internship has to offer. A: Be actively engaged in the work that you are doing. Q: What is your job title? A: Electrical Engineer Q: What are your main duties and responsibilities? A: As of right now, I am hard-coding something for a project that I am in charge of. (Classified) Q: Why did you chose to work here? A: Gave me a chance to do work in my field. Q: What skills or training are required for your position. A: Communication, Coding and good at math. Q: What is the purpose of this organization? A: It is sort of a research and development for the Navy During my internship, I have been coding like I was doing in school with Python. This is a little bit more difficult and it is in a language I do not quite know yet. But is is good to have previous coding knowledge so I know what it takes to solve problems I encounter. I have learned some more basics and advanced things in C/C++ over the past few weeks. It is more complicated than Python but it has a lot more capabilities. My Internship is in Point Loma and I am not that close to it so I normally wake up at 6:30 to get there in time. My mentor will not be here next week so I will not be able to work. This is good and bad because I get to stay and work from home but I am working less than I normally would to fill my required hours.
who work at the office I am in and most of the time not everyone is there. 2. They are very active in achieving their goals. They all focus on the work that needs to be done. 3. It is a slightly different field than I was hoping to get into but still a great learning opportunity. 4. I am excited to learn what I am going to be doing. 5. Accidentally crossing a line I didn’t know about. |
