What about the UseIT program
have you benefited from most?
I have benefited most
from the learning of an entire new programming language. Having
almost exclusively worked with C++ at school, I had very limited
experience with Java before this summer. Despite this, my fellow
interns and plenty of Google searches have made learning the new
language a breeze.
What is your overall impression of the facilities and equipment?
The facilities offered to us in the computer lab have been
more than ample. The machines are very up-to-date and incredibly
hassle-free.
Also, having our workplace in such an open environment (100%
cubicle-free) has really helped boost collaboration amongst
interns. What about the friendships
you’ve
made while staying here?
The friends I have made while here have been incredible.
It has truly been a joy to live and work with the other
interns.
Also, friendships
made with the other residents in our apartment have made this
an awesome summer. Has this program influenced
or affected your plans for a career?
This program has really made me consider a career in the
earthquake technology field. The fusion of computer science
and geology
is enjoyable to me, and this internship has shown me the
possibilities available
for a career.
What have you done in the UseIT program this summer?
My contribution to the UseIT program has been working on
a revolutionary way of importing text labels from files.
The new
method allows users
a greater deal of flexibility when formatting files for
displaying. The concepts used for doing so have led to incredibly
helpful
possibilities for changes in several other aspects of the
program.
