In September, I began my year-long internship at Comau. As a university student from England, I was excited about my time in the United States and anxious to see what kind of responsibilities I might (or might not, as some internships go) have the opportunity to tackle.

My time at Comau has already far exceeded my expectations. Not only do I sit amongst many talented engineers, I work directly with the marketing team daily as we work on a new website, logos, videos, graphics and more.

One project I’ve been most involved in is the creation of a new Comau Aerospace logo. (See above image). I drafted several versions of a logo and after much collaboration and debate, a final logo was chosen by the Comau Aerospace group. I have helped to create and perfect new product logos and posters and have even drafted a re-design of the office coffee area. It’s rewarding to use the skills I’ve learned in school on a high profile project that will actually be put into use.

I’ve also been working on images for the new Comau, Inc. website. I have been able to use my creativity, and the extensive knowledge and experience of Jim Agemak, to help create modern and fresh images for the new look of the website.

Next, I will be helping as we work on displaying our products and solutions on the website and I hope to work on some videos as well. Stay tuned for what’s next with my internship experience at Comau…
