Pandemic Creates Opportunity of Virtual Internships for Industrial Engineering Students
|
Industrial Engineering students completing internships during summer 2020 found themselves working in a new way, remotely. The pandemic has demonstrated how the workforce is experiencing a shift, and the future of work after the COVID-19 pandemic may not be the same. We caught up with several of our students while they were on internship in summer 2020 to find out how they were doing, how they managed to stay engaged, and how it impacted their understanding of the new work model. Then, we checked back in with them afterward to see what they learned from the experience. Read More |
