4. What you learned and how it relates to your major (e.g., describe what you learned from this experience in the context of specific courses)
Throughout my internship with TPR, I learned how to manage & install technology, communicate with clients, maintain and design websites, and I also gained a great amount of experience that relates to my major. Updating the design and integrity of TPR’s website helped me gain more knowledge about UX. It also helped me to understand and get more used to working in a hands-on setting like many of the classes try and teach at Temple. Physically handling and installing several technological pieces also helped me grasp a deeper understand of how they work. Overall, my internship with TPR Homes was a major success, and I believe what I learned throughout the summer will translate into the classroom and more importantly, into the real world.
