11. TIP Students gain much more than engineering experience A renewed interest in engineering fields –My major is communication, but this internship was in the image processing field. I found this area is my true interest! This fall quarter I chose a lot of classes in regards to image processing and joined a professor's lab. –Helped me focus what I would like to work on in my career someday. Exposed me to subjects and helped me find an interest in engineering. –I have a stronger focus on extra-curricular activities and following through on ideas on not just the programming done for my classes, but of finding innovative ways of accomplishing my day to day tasks through the use of modern software features and new technologies. Influenced course choices –I want to study more specifically to what I want to work for. –In my studies I am now more motivated to work smarter and more efficiently as well to see the meaning how my subject is relevant to the real world.

12. TIP Students gain much more than engineering experience What it means to work in industry –With hands-on experience in programming in a real world setting, I know now what to expect in a project timeline. –TIP gave me a new perspective on how to industry works and opened my eyes to new career paths. Knowing what kind of work I want to do in the future, it tells me what skills I need to learn now. –The summer made me much more aware of the types of roles I would like to avoid and the type of company culture that is important to me. For that, I am very grateful. –I now realize that I will enjoy working for startup/developing companies more than larger, established corporations. –It gave me the opportunity to see all the different kinds of jobs I can do with my major.

15. Student Quotes I really love how successful the program is at advertising students to companies with an interest in taking in interns. Overall, it was an almost guaranteed way for everyone to obtain an internship over summer. –Tai Nguyen, CS Junior, L-3 Telemetry West TIP hands UCSD students the necessary spectacles, on a golden platter, to discover the large scope of corporations eagerly interested to hire interns, making job searching as minuscule of a task as possible. –Hesler Rodriguez, CE Freshman, Shopzilla TIP really opened my eyes to all the opportunities available to an engineer after graduation. –Kevin Wong, EnvE Junior, Peregrine Semiconductor Overall, one of the best summers of my life. Great and challenging opportunities led to the use of team work, leadership, and applied problem solving. The most valuable experience was the opportunity to work as a team to solve a real problem. –Scott Kato, ME Senior, Solar Turbines I had not realized the extent of the technical knowledge I had acquired at UCSD. This internship provided me with a technical challenge that required me to use what I had learned at school. –Hernando Rico, EE Senior, SAIC TIP gave me opportunities that I would not have had otherwise! –Charles Davidson, EarthSci Junior, SDG&E
