I shadowed an electrical engineer for two days to learn about the day in the life of an electrical engineer.
I learned about and drafted a schematic diagram of the electrical wiring for buildings.
I attended presentations to learn about the experiences of other electrical engineers, including those who worked at major technology companies like Google, Chevron etc.
I learned about business etiquette, presentation, and interviewing skills.

I helped identify a problem at the Waste Management corporate offices, which was a high amounts of trash being disposed.
I designed a prototype for a device to measure weight of trash generated at the corporate office.
I engineered a device with electrical components to accurately measure and display the weight of the trashcans at the corporate office.
I programmed a microcontroller (Arduino) to process the weight sensor data and store the information.

I taught students mathematics topics ranging from elementary school math to calculus.
I completed employee workshops and training programs to learn tutoring skills.
I arranged items for new students and guided them in their classes.
I managed center administrative tasks, such as signing in students and printing out worksheets.
I utilized real life scenarios and examples to explain complex math concepts to make it more fun and engaging for the students.
I assisted in cleaning up at the end of the day, including sweeping and vacuuming.
