3. Internship content:

            On the morning of July 15, I came to the company. After an interview with the company and informing the purpose of this internship, I got the consent and support of the company’s person in charge and started a one-month internship.
             Starting from the 15th, due to the confidentiality of the company’s production process and professional counterparts, I was assigned to the company’s product inspection department. After getting to know everyone, I began to devote myself to learning inspection methods. In the first few days, I just observed and familiarized myself. After my patient observation and the careful teaching and guidance of my colleagues, I learned some simple inspection work related to my professional knowledge, and under the leadership of the teacher in the product inspection room, I completed the experiment with them. With continuous learning in the company, my colleagues taught me all the processes required for product inspection, and I began to complete some inspection work independently, and received recognition and praise from everyone. In the days that followed, while doing a good job of inspecting products, I tried my best to build good interpersonal relationships with the department. After getting everyone’s approval, I asked to go to the workshop with them. When they took samples every day, I began to understand some of the factory’s production equipment and some simple production processes, and carefully recorded some useful knowledge that the workers told me that I couldn’t learn from books. After a month, I felt that I learned a lot. Through my own actual operation, I understood many concepts that I learned in class but didn’t practice. I am very glad that I seized this opportunity. Of course, I also know that what I have learned is just a drop in the bucket. I need to keep working hard. As my colleagues said, “Technical knowledge is gained through accumulated practice!”
