Marei S.B.， 25， got her first taste of her dream career this past summer in Colorado， where sheinterned （实习） at Woodward， Inc.， an American designer， manufacturer （生产商）， and serviceprovider of control system components for aircraft engines for some of the world’s largest aircraftcompanies. Marei was part of the platform development engineering team at Woodward， helping trainthe operations and engineering teams on crucial aircraft components.

“This was my very first internship， and I was amazed by the aerospace （航空航天） industry，” shesaid. “We were always crunched under deadlines， and customers， understandably， requested largework orders. There was always a pressure to perform your best and provide them with the bestpossible units made at our plant. This taught me a lot about how demanding and fast-paced theindustry is， but it also confirmed and reassured me that I really want to work in the aerospaceindustry.”

The internship required Marei to use both her technical engineering and interpersonal skills. Sheworked with both the engineering and operations teams at Woodward. “The operations team didn’tnecessarily have engineering degrees， so I had to break down technical terms into everyday words thatwe use，” she said. “It taught me to be specific and precise. I’d rather be more repetitive and ensureeach step is correct than have to rework the entire process.”

Marei also helped train the teams through product displays and visual work instructions on howto manufacture specific products. That brought its own unique thrill， as the instructions she createdcould be used long after her internship ended.

Marei is planning to return to Woodward this winter. She’ll have another semester’s worth ofengineering knowledge， which will further her into the career she’s always wanted. “I got to applymany of the things I learned at Harvard，” she said. “The internship taught me the technical knowledgeI’d need to learn from my courses that could be applied here.”
