This summer marked my second internship at CEC. One of the most valuable and defining aspects of my experience has been the opportunity to rotate through multiple departments. This was a planned part of my internship experience, and I’m grateful for it, because it gave me an in-depth look at what each discipline brings to the table—and what I personally gravitate toward as a future engineer.

An Intern’s View Into CEC

Liv Blair — Fri, 18 Aug 2023 21:04:56 +0000

During my time here at Civil & Environmental Consultants, Inc., I did not get the internship experience I expected.

You’re almost home on a balmy summer evening and hit the button on the garage door opener as you approach the driveway. The door goes up, the light turns on and you pull in.

You make your way into the comfortably air-conditioned kitchen, flip on the light switch and decide a snack is in order … popcorn it is.
