Description of the Organization
GE Aviation is a subsidiary of General Electric, with over 48,000 employees world wide.
Description of the Tasks/Projects Completed
This summer I was able to work in Commercial Shroud components, which are directly installed into commercial jet engines for Boeing and Airbus planes. My goal this summer was to implement control limits to 30+ product families, and see out that these were restricting tolerances to ensure better parts and more confidence.
Skills/Knowledge Gained Through The Experience
I gained a lot of manufacturing and data analysis experience, being able to look at data and make decisions. I got a lot of hands on experience that is practically impossible to get in the classroom.
Favorite Part of the Experience
My favorite part is being able to take ownership of a project. Getting assigned a role and exceeding expectations is always exciting to be able to help Build A World That Works.
How the Experience Influenced Future Career Goals
This experience has helped me decide that I do not want to go into a manufacturing role. I am happy to have been able to empathize the frustrations of making the products that design engineers do not get to see. I would like to see myself in more of a design role, and validation setting.
