HEAR FROM PAST STUDENTS

Throughout the past 16 months of internship, the common theme that came up over and over again from all of the clients that visit SRC, and that is: "The amount of experience and knowledge you are gaining as an intern is equal to the amount of experience a full-time engineer with a decade of experience working in a specific field". That is indeed the most accurate description. It is a privilege working with such talented people and the great variety of work within SRC. -Ahmad Murtoza, Chemical Engineering Co-op Student

My experience working at SRC has felt incredibly rewarding. I have been able to grow both professionally as an engineer and personally while working on projects. The multidisciplinary team I worked with made learning easy by providing instant feedback and support when I didn't understand something. Their guidance helped me develop confidence withing the workplace that later allowed me to take more initiative and solve problems on my own. Every project I worked on felt like it was contributing toward a shared goal, which helped strengthen the sense of teamwork and unity across the organization. Overall, I am grateful for my time with SRC and glad to have worked with such a supportive team. - Jacob Genoway, Mechanical Engineering Co-op Student
