Kyle, Engineering
University of Cincinnati, Junior
What brought you to VEGA?
Honestly, the fact that I would be working with radiation sounded cool and I bet a lot of other engineers would agree.
What are your daily tasks at VEGA?
My daily tasks have changed drastically going from my first rotation here to my second rotation. But currently on a day-to-day basis I am working a lot with the product managers to design and build demo units for the upcoming Technology Days at VEGA.
Editor's note: Technology Days was an event hosted at VEGA Americas for our Central and South American customers. 75 customers were on our campus for product presentations, campus tours, a guest speaker, and dinners at popular spots around Cincinnati.
Are there any special projects that you have worked on or are working on now?
Probably the most recognizable project I am working on currently is a demo unit for Jeff Brand, a product manager at VEGA. Here is a picture of the model from Creo. The real model has light on it. But after this project I am looking forward to begin testing on the ProTrac air cooling unit which is exciting because I've never been able to experience the testing side of engineering.
What is your favorite thing about your school?
My favorite things about University of Cincinnati are the basketball games. If you haven't been to one, I would highly recommend it.
What is your biggest accomplishment at VEGA?
Getting rehired.
What kind of impact do you feel you are making at VEGA?
My last rotation I mostly helped with updating redlines. But this semester I am being given projects of my own to take over so I'm helping complete ECNs.
What is the most challenging part about this internship?
The most challenging part is keeping track of multiple projects/deadlines at a time.
What is the last show you binge watched?
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
What is your favorite movie quote?
It's not a movie but the show It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
"Is it could in here?" - Dee
"I'm not a thermostat." - Charlie
