Our members have been very busy this summer:
Brian Rennie
This summer, Brian has an internship with Suburban Consulting Engineers at their Flanders, NJ office in the Gas Utility department. He has assisted in numerous projects, large and small, by preparing permit plans to be reviewed by the county/state offices prior to construction. These plans require the use of AutoCAD to create a basemap of the existing conditions, annotated sheets of proposed work, and traffic control plans. Brian will also be working with the Land Development department this summer. He has enjoyed learning every day from the designers at SCE and participating in the office activities like Hawaiian shirt Fridays!
Charles Turi
This summer Chuck was a structural engineering intern at Hardesty and Hanover in West Trenton NJ. During his 10 week internship he helped with the design of a double-leaf bascule span movable bridge; creating drawings, checking calculations and performing quantity calculations. He also went on 4 different site visits with other H&H interns to various projects that H&H has worked on or are currently working on. Pictured is Chuck and the other H&H interns on the site visit to Willis Avenue Bridge in NYC, which H&H designed. Chuck: “This summer has been an amazing learning experience and I’ve met and worked with a lot of great people.”
Olivia Cleale
Olivia interned with Specialty Engineering Inc. (SEI), a company which focuses on structural engineering consulting and research, as well as bridge inspections. Olivia worked alongside highly trained and experienced licensed professionals at the Bristol, PA and Blue Bell, PA locations. She was in the field weekly performing routine bridge inspections in Pennsylvania’s Montgomery, Chester, Bucks, Lehigh and Berks counties. When returning to the office, she assisted team leaders in writing inspection reports and preparing both hand drawn and computer generated sketches. Similarly, she reviewed documents and technical papers for publication and created MicroStation drawings and tables for the design of noise walls. Olivia also soldered string gauges to be used for testing on a large scale Philadelphia bridge. She is very thankful for her time with SEI and all that she has learned from her coworkers. She very much looks forward to bringing the experience and knowledge from her internship back to TCNJ with her and in her future endeavors.
Victor Mazariegos
This summer, Victor worked as an intern at Michael Baker International in Hamilton, NJ. Over the course of his internship, he was able to learn about the many technologies that are used behind many projects, such as LiDAR (light detection and ranging) data collection. He assisted the team throughout various steps of a project, including processing and exporting roadway right of way images, asset management, and classifying imperfections on the pavement to determine condition of infrastructure in highways. Victor greatly enjoyed the friendly and professional office environment, getting to meet his coworkers, and learning about all the kinds of work that goes on in an engineering firm. He is excited to see where his career will lead him upon graduation!
