Audrey
Experience Information
Employer: Twisthink
Job Title: Engineering Intern
Major: Electrical Engineering
Received Credit: Yes
Paid: Yes
Abroad: No
Description of the Organization
Twisthink is a design and technology company, specializing in embedded systems and serving a diverse customer base. There are roughly 25 employees.
Description of the Tasks/Projects Completed
I did a lot of research on machine learning algorithms for various applications Twisthink is working on, and also wrote some MATLAB functions. I also worked on a detection project, which included determining the optimal sensor for the project's application by researching and then testing. In addition to those projects, I did some temperature testing on several resistors by creating a circuit that simulated what would be happening in the product, and used an IR camera and an oscilloscope to capture the temperature at different time intervals.
Skills/Knowledge Gained Through The Experience
I learned a lot about machine learning and image processing. I also got some experience with using Linux and improved my soldering skills/techniques.
Favorite Part of the Experience
My favorite part was getting exposure to so many different projects and getting to do a lot of hands on work.
How the Experience Influenced Future Career Goals
Before the co-op I had little knowledge about machine learning, but now I am really interested in that part of engineering.
