I learned an abundance of information pertaining to my major and professional career trajectory. I also conducted extensive networking and therefore met many individuals who can validate my capabilities as an engineer.
What I wish was different
Any learning is beneficial, so I do not wish any difference in the experience I gained.
Advice
My best piece of advice is to trust and believe in yourself. Although it is daunting to enter a new space and have your performance judged, gaining an internship in your desired profession is the best advancement you can make for success after education.
