Description of the Tasks/Projects Completed
At Trane Grand Rapids, I was responsible for drawing their floor, hydronic, and air handler graphics using Photoshop. Using floor and mechanical plans, I drew 2-D graphics their customers use to control their HVAC system and what the technicians use to easily fix any issues. I put together graphics orders by going through mechanical plans and control submittals and sent the order to their centralized graphics team.
Skills/Knowledge Gained Through The Experience
I tested my knowledge of CAD based drawings while revising as-builds using AutoCAD and updating controlýs with Traneýs design program, CSET. I also furthered my organizational skills by sorting incoming packages to the project engineering managerýs shelf.
Favorite Part of the Experience
My favorite part of the experience drawing mechanical plans from scratch using Photoshop. Another awesome part of my experience has been working with a great team. The team of engineers I worked with had a plethora of knowledge, and they made the experience fun!
How the Experience Influenced Future Career Goals
I was already interested in heating and cooling engineering. HVAC is something this world will always need. The difficult part was finding the best HVAC company to work for, and Trane solidified my decision on the best company!
