Golden Eagle Scholarship
Winner

I have had three completely different internships, which
has shown me the different sides and different areas of
Pratt & Whitney. I have learned something different from
each.
Summer 2007 in Marietta, GA I worked on the PW100
engine which powers the F‐22. I was basically an engine
mechanic and tester to see they were operating properly.
Summer 2008 in East Hartford, CT I worked with Power
Systems and basically helped with the configuration of
electrical components at the sites.

Summer 2009 in Huntsville, AL would have to be my
favorite. I worked on robots that performed various tasks
based on programming. During this internship I
experienced on‐site training when Pratt & Whitney flew me
and my supervisor to Indiana to fix a robotics problem.
I have enjoyed meeting the many people who work at Pratt
& Whitney and being thrown into a job like a full‐time
employee.

Overall, I have enjoyed each of them and the areas that they
were, thanks to the recommendations of my mentor.
