title
Future Powertrain and Aftertreatment Intern
overview
During my internship at Peterbilt, I worked closely with engineers in the Powertrain and Aftertreatment departments, handling various tasks and a key project. I reviewed over 200 technical drawings to spot errors and missing details, designed and built a stand to hold and rotate a pipe for lab use, and created bend lines and DXF files for over 70 parts to be made in the lab. Additionally, I made PowerPoint presentations for different assignments and projects, added parts into the Product Change Management System, and completed multiple Engineering Change Notices
Fun Fact
I studied abroad last summer, I was in Rome, Italy for about 5 weeks. During my time there I learned to adapt to the time, culture, food and transportation. It was an amazing experience and taught me how to use my resources.
Passion
I am very passionate about space. It is what inspired me to major in mechanical engineering. I one day want to help humanity with space exploration. I am also passionate about the automotive industry. I one day want to see a vehicle on the road and say " I helped design that vehicle."
