For my main project in the Data Science department, there are few skills that I was able to use using the knowledge that I learnt from my class. Beside a little bit of SQL knowledge that I picked up from the data analytics class, most of the requirements in the project are entirely new to me. Hence, I have to learn from scrap as much as I can.
However, for the past few days, me and other interns were given a project that is basically just a textbook case for business analysist. Our task is to design a new and improved version of Clutch’s Internal Reward system. Having learnt a lot from MIS 3506, I was able to initiate the project with a draft version of the scope document and outlining what’s the best possible route to learn about our requirement and solutions. Even though the documents are not required, I still think it’s necessary to document our project and let our employee to track back on our process if they need to.

Knowledge of Data Science, Excel for Business Applications, and Data Analytics courses help me a lot in my internship. Since most of my work involves Excel, Tableau and R-Studio, I could apply what I’ve learned in class about functions in Excel, data analysis and visualization techniques to clean data and visualize data. Also, my team is proposing an implementation of a new software to improve the system to the department and we need to do some research on pros and cons of this software and why we need this change; thus, those flash research papers in IT Architecture class is definitely a good help.

For me, MIS courses are really helpful for my IT internship. With exposure and experience in working with R, Tableau, and SQL from Data Science and Data Analytics, I am able to quickly learn and use other database environments such as SAP and SQL Server and languages such as TSQL and Spark to extract data and present most of my business unit’s demands for data analytics in an interactive, real-time dashboard in Tableau. Moreover, I can also utilize my knowledge to work on the integration project of R into PowerBI and Tableau, perform its proof of concept by developing use cases, and leverage these use cases to further business purposes. In terms of the PMO team, the project management skills and tools from MIS 3535 are key. It provides me with fundamental knowledge about the project management field generally, helping me to understand new PM software and catch up with current corporate projects effectively.

For technical skill, the Excel for Business Applications class has helped me a lot in making report generation and data finding more effective and efficient. In an upcoming project that involves testing the UI and UX of an centralized internal business dashboard, I will be able to utilize Tableau, Excel and a bit of HTML/CSS coding knowledge in order to ensure the website has a user-friendly, functional and accessible interface for prospective users.

For communication skill, the Digital Solutions Studio class has improved my ability to determine a project scope, who are the stakeholders and SMEs and how to perform strategic planning to meet the deadlines while maintaining the quality of the work I do. I will also need it for the current project I’m working on with other interns to understand the Marketing and Corporate Communications ecosystem.

As an Accounting major, I can apply almost every knowledge I learned from accounting courses at Temple to this Finance internship at Chubb. I get a better sense of different financial elements of a corporate and how those numbers are analyzed to make quality decisions. Also, as I mainly work with Microsoft Excel and Access, I can apply what I learned in Data Science and Accounting Information System to work more efficiently and effectively. Another software I use in my daily task is PeopleSoft – Chubb’s general ledger. Although I have not learned to use this system in college, I easily got adapted and mastered PeopleSoft thanks to my exposure to different systems learned and used in MIS 2502 (Data Analytics). In a nutshell, classroom knowledge plays a significant role in leveraging my internship at Chubb.

For the first project that I was on, we mainly used SQL and Tableau to transform, analyze, migrate, and validate raw data. Having some basic knowledge about those data analytics and database management tools from MIS 0855 and MIS 2502 definitely helped me a lot in developing DQI checks and SQL scripts to interact with the database. I performed a variety of tasks within SQL such as: pulling data from the database, mapping data between different tables, checking the quality of input data to make sure they all met the requirements, etc. I have also been able to use the communication skill that I got from taking Business Communications (BA 2196) class, specifically when I had to report the data quality to the team and client in order to migrate all potential risks in the data before production go-live.

There are a number of skills from my MIS and Finance major classes which I could utilize in the project that I am working on in AmerisourceBergen. The two main tools that I am currently using are Excel and Power BI. From the MIS 2502 – Data Analytics class, I have learnt a great deal about Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) in Excel which has been very helpful for me in my internship. In my current project, I also have to use complex aggregated formulas in Excel, many of which I learnt from that class. Most importantly, however, was the experience and skill of handling large complex data-sets that was the most helpful for me in my internship. The data-sets at AmerisourceBergen are extremely large and complicated and is very challenging to manage properly. There were several assignments in the MIS 2502 class where we had to work with large data-sets which is an experience that is helping me a lot right now.

Enterprise IT Architecture plays an important role in giving me the foundation background of IT architecture in order to understand the IT operating systems and IT architecture of clients’ businesses. Therefore, I can develop IT knowledge about the clients’ systems and applications to perform IT auditing. MIS3501 and MIS3502 also contribute greatly to my work as I have to understand, evaluate and test the codes and queries to confirm the completeness and accuracy.

The exposure to the logical concepts behind Javascript language I gained in MIS 2402 has given me a solid foundation and a better understanding of data structures and functions in other programming languages, as the knowledge and the key ideas are transferable and applicable to different languages. This contributes greatly to my efficiency and productivity at Tapp, especially when I’m doing Quality Assurance test cases, reporting issues on GitHub, and communicating with senior developers.MIS 2901 introduced me to ERD and swimlane diagrams, which I use to break down my clients’ workflow in order to analyze and improve their technical software development.

A lot of the things I have been doing at my internship relate to my Data Analytics course. Since I have been working with ERP implementation, I have been exposed to the ETL process. I have worked with the NetSuite team to upload CSV files to the new systems. These CSV files included the Chart of Accounts, Fixed Assets, and Journal Entries from legacy systems. I have also been exposed to workflows which are a similar concept to an ERD diagram. NetSuite is a relational database, and it was interesting to see this after studying ERDs and schemas. We ended our semesters in Data Analytics speaking about data visualization- I have found this to be useful in ERP implementation. For example, in NetSuite each user is given a role based on their job description. The data visible in their homepage/dashboard is often customized to provide each role with the exact information needed to complete their job description.

I use a lot of the knowledge I gain from MIS 3406: Enterprise IT Architecture and MIS 2502: Data Analytics in my internship. My job including testing the company IT systems so it is important that I understand a company’s IT infrastructures and basic definition such as Active Directory, Domains, Single Sign-On, etc. In addition, when testing database, we have to use SQL script in order to extract the data that I need. Therefore, what I learn in MIS2502 about the ETL process, data storage and especially MySQL has been very helpful.

During the internship with Deloitte, I use a lot of the knowledge I gain from MIS 3406: Enterprise IT Architecture and MIS 2502: Data Analytics. My job including testing the company IT systems so it is important that I understand a company’s IT infrastructures and basic definition such as Active Directory, Domains, Single Sign-On, etc. In addition, when testing database, we have to use SQL script in order to extract the data that I need. Therefore, what I learn in MIS2502 about the ETL process, data storage and especially MySQL has been very helpful. In addition, my company uses Excel for documentation purpose so knowledge in this class is also extremely helpful as well.

Handling the schoolwork and summer internship is definitely easier than the schoolwork and spring/fall internship. Back in last semester, I had a spring internship while taking 18 credit class. It was really hard and took a lot of time to balance and finish both work. On the other hand, as I don’t have to take any class besides this Co-op class during my summer internship, I don’t have to worry about the school deadlines as much as I used to. Everything has been good so far because I already marked all of the deadlines for this class in my calendar, so I won’t miss anything important.

As I’m only taking one class this summer, I don’t have much difficulty in balancing between schoolwork and my internship. I marked all the assignments and their deadlines on my Google Calendar to easily keep track of the class. I am also required to submit a biweekly report to my manager as of what I have accomplished and what I have not had a chance to work on. Therefore, those assignments in this class definitely help me finish the reports more easily.

Managing between my work at Clutch and the weekly task in MIS 3581 is not that challenging at all once I have set up my assignment and schedule on Google Calendar. Since Clutch also uses Google Calendar for all scheduling purpose, it’s a lot easier for me to keep track of what I have in the upcoming weeks for both the company and class works. Moreover, interns also have a report system we have to submit every weekend. Hence, these reports also create a habit out of me to write my daily journal of what I finish or learn everyday. This is really helpful when it comes to doing my bi-monthly report for the class and my supervisor.

I set up reminders in my Google Calendar for upcoming tasks and deadlines, so it is a fairly straightforward process for me when it comes to balancing my schoolwork and internship work. At Tapp, we communicate constantly through Slack, a messaging app that allows people to chat and meet virtually to discuss projects and tasks. I also integrated my team’s Slack calendar to my Google Calendar, so I have both tasks for Tapp and MIS 3581 in one place, and that makes it easier for me to keep track and follow up on things I have to do for each day. Tapp does not require weekly/bi-weekly reports, but I take the initiative to talk to my boss to report and update my current status everyday before I leave Tapp.

Balancing schoolwork and working my internship hasn’t been as difficult as during the school year since I have many more responsibilities then. This is also my second year taking the class. Like many other students, I have set up reminders on my Google Calendar with assignment due dates. I had a little bit of a difficulty getting used to this schedule at first because summertime makes everyone much more relaxed, but I think I am all good to go now!

I would definitely say that making reminders and adding things to your calendar are some of the most important things that someone can do to maintain a good balance. Since I don’t do any homework at work, it is crucial for me to remember to do it once I get home. I also think that other important ways to to handle everything is getting enough sleep, eating healthy, and having a good social circle of family & friends.

During this summer, I only take one class while working full-time at PwC. Therefore, I do not have much difficulty balancing between schoolwork and my internship. I have marked all of the assignments’ due dates for the class that I am taking on my Google calendar, thus I am able to keep track of the assignments I have completed and the ones that I still need to submit. As soon as I get to the office in the morning, the first thing I do is to write down all of the tasks that I need to work on throughout the day, and also try to estimate how much time it would take me to complete each task. As a result, I found this strategy to be very helpful because it helps me to keep track of my time for both class assignments and work.

Since I am only taking 1 class this summer semester the course load is not too much to handle. However, as my internship requires a lot of travel, sometimes it is hard to keep up with the deadline since I don’t have access to computer or internet. In order to balance between schoolwork and my internship, I set up reminder on my phone as to when each assignment/report is due so I could finish them on time. I also utilize my free time to start early on assignment.

Since I am only taking the Co-op class while doing the internship, there is not a lot I have to do regarding managing schoolwork. However, I still make Google Calendar updates and reminders so that I can turn in assignments for the class on time. When it comes to working in Subaru, Unless there’s some downtime, I would focus on doing my work assignments first. Other than that, my after-work hours are dedicated to either doing assignments or relaxing after a long day. For me it’s important to strike a good work-life balance, as I know that things will get more hectic once the semester kicks in.

Balancing coursework and internship during a school semester is much more challenging than it is during the summer. Despite working full time during the summer at AmerisourceBergen, it is quite easy to keep track of assignments and upcoming deadlines through the help of Google Calendar. Although ABC does not have a specific application for scheduling, I usually use Google Calendar to keep track of my internship tasks as well. This helps me to view upcoming tasks for both internship and coursework on one interface. Also, I try to complete my assignments for the MIS 3581 course during the weekend so that a lot of work does not pile up for me during the weekdays. For larger assignments, I ensure that I have enough time allotted to them during weekdays so I put sufficient effort on those assignments.

As I only take one summer class, balancing school work with my internship is definitely easier than during the school year. The only problem I have had so far is the 3-hour time difference between San Francisco and Philly, which pushes the due time 3 hours earlier. With that said, I learn to subscribe to the class’ page to get notifications when a new discussion thread is posted, and finish my post on the commute from home to work. For other assignments, I put everything on my calendar and get things done during the weekends.

At work, to make sure that I keep up with my responsibilities, I schedule weekly meetings with my managers to report statuses and review next steps. I also make sure that everything I do is well-documented so that I don’t have to waste time going back-and-forth between things that were already discussed.

Putting all the key dates and deadlines on the calendar helps me visualize my schedule and get things done. I also keep 2 separate calendars for school and work so school and work won’t clash at each other. When at work, I only focus on the internship. When I’m not at work, I check my school and personal calendar to focus on other aspects. This also helps me balance my life in all aspects, not just school and work.

This summer I have taken two courses while working at my internship. Luckily, one of my classes ended two weeks into working full time. I have always found the best way to balance my time has been by planning. I use a calendar and write down my upcoming due dates. This helps me to visualize what tasks I need to focus on first. In addition to this I try to wake up early when I know that I have a lot of assignments due. I find that my mind is sharpest in the mornings, and I can get more done. If I find that I am short on time before an upcoming due date I will put my phone on silent and cut out TV. Getting rid of distractions helps me to ensure I spend enough time on my schoolwork and do not have to crunch last minute.

As I mainly work with numbers, attention to details is definitely an important skill. I’m also doing 2 assignments simultaneously; therefore, time management and multitasking are the other two essential skills for my internship. This week, I started using TM1 to assist my Quality Control Testing, which I have never used before. I’m glad to have all the support and guidance from my manager as well as team members throughout my time at Chubb. Each individual is of significant help who motives me to work harder every day, points out my mistakes, and never hesitates to answer my curiosity.

As I am working mostly with data, I have realized that one of the most important skills is to understand the source and structure of the data. This skill is more important than knowing how to analyze that data because without knowing the proper context of how a data set was formulated, it is very difficult to extract meaningful information from it. At AmerisourceBergen, as an Enterprise Architecture Intern, I have to work with data related to the company’s business capabilities and how the applications that the company has can help serve those capabilities. Therefore, to connect particular capabilities to an application, it is very important to know how the data has been collected in the first place to better understand the context of the data. Despite working in the Enterprise Architecture department, I have found a member of the data analytics to be very useful in this project because he helped me understand the source and structure of the data sets better.

Prior to my Internship, I didn’t every worry about stepping out of my comfort zone to take it upon myself to find more work to do. Part of this included not waiting to be taught how to do something and trying to learn it on my own. For instance, my supervisor wanted me to start writing SQL queries, and while I did learn a lot from school, there was a lot I didn’t know so I just started Googling more. I wouldn’t normally teach myself anything because before this I had been taught by a professor or was taught simple tasks on the job. For this internship, it wasn’t enough. My supervisor is often very busy so I had to learn how to teach myself. Furthermore, another intern has also recently started working with me. So as one of the few people my age, and being that we go to the same school and have the same major, I definitely want him on my side.

As part of my job is IT auditing as an external auditor, client communication is a very important skill that I am horning. As an external auditor, I have to balance between evaluating the evidence and managing the client relationship. I can’t be too harsh on the client but have to use professional judgment to produce quality work at the same time. I also have to pay attention to little things such as active listening to the client, asking good questions or emailing the client.
Besides my managers, my peer advisor and counselor are other important stakeholders in my internship. I can ping my peer advisor for any “stupid” questions such as filling out the timesheet or where the bathroom is located, and reach out to my counselor for any career-wise and company-wise questions. We usually have lunch or coffee together.

The most important thing I learned during my internship is communication skill. As our team all working remotely, it is important that I be able to have good listening skill in order to communicate with my team members. At work, my company utilizes Skype for Business as a method to communicate with my teammates. Whenever my team wants to assign me some tasks, they would call me on Skype. We usually share the screen so that my team member could walk me through how to do the work. In order to sucessfully complete my task, I need to be able to communicate well using technology. In addition, I have to learn the ability to ask good question.

Communication skill also play an important role when I work with client. After 3 weeks in my job, I have been in 4 different client walkthrough. Some walkthrough is through Skype while other are conducted on site. As our clients are usually multinational cooperation with offices across the world, sometimes it is difficult to corordinate a suitable time and date for the meeting. In addition, sometime the information the client provice verbally is not clear enough so we have to follow up with them using emails/documentations

Before I started my position at La Colombe, I had a very good understanding of the overall company culture as I was a barista beforehand as well as knowledgeable about the history as a whole. In particular, the office where I work is located at the fishtown cafe location in which I have been to several times. That being said, I didn’t have any trouble figuring out where to find certain things (especially where to find coffee hahaha!). However, one thing that I had to figure out had to do with my transition from being a barista to being part of the corporate office. Being one of the first interns that La Colombe has ever hired, there was definitely some tension between some of the baristas I have worked with in the past as I was working in a higher position in the company. However, this wasn’t a huge issue but it definitely was something that is very specific to my experience that I had to deal with.

In general, Chubb did a great job in introducing me to the office, the company’s culture and providing me with a thorough training for my internship position. I am interning at Chubb in its Finance Department, and one difficulty I found during my first week here is my exposure to the financial statements as well as regulations/policies of an insurance company, of which I barely learn in college. Also, even though Chubb trained me to use several specialized software (e.g. PeopleSoft) on the first day, I still needed to do some research and familiarize myself with those software during the following days.

Clutch is the first professional company that I get to intern for in the US. Before this, I only had two part time jobs at Temple, both are formal office works. Hence, this is the first time I work at a startup cultural focused environment. Since I already learnt a lot of Clutch’s culture on their handbook, I did not have much trouble navigating around the office (to the coffee!). However, I did have a hard time choosing where my workstation should be. Since Clutch cultivate an open space office, I was not appointed a designated desk. So, choosing where I want to work at is one of the things I have to figure out every day. Besides my workstation, the meeting is also scheduled in different parts of the office. There was this one time when I got to seat in the CEO office to meet up with a team member!

Although I have not started my internship at AmerisourceBergen yet, I have a very good idea about their office. After my on-site interview, one of my interviewers took me on a tour of the office where I got to see all the different areas including the space which could be my own work station. The bathrooms and the area where I can get coffee are conveniently close to my work space. Additionally, with the help of a handbook of the office that I was provided, I can easily navigate through the office and I am excited to explore more of it.

I believe that the training I had last week in Boston went really well because it helped me understand the firm’s culture and structure much better. We were introduced and trained on some of the new softwares that we did not learn from school. In addition, the instructors also taught us on how to network and expand connections with other employees and Partners. Overall, it has been an awesome experience interning at PwC’s Digital Risk Solutions practice. Everyone in the team is very friendly, supportive, and willing to help all of the new interns as much as possible. However, I have also learned that in each engagement that we get assigned to, people might come from different offices across the U.S and work remotely. Therefore, I will have to effectively communicate with my manager and other team members via emails, Webex, and phone calls in order to stay on top of all the tasks/deliverables that need to be completed.

I feel like Deloitte did a good job of getting ready for the internship, however, there are still many tasks that I have to figure out on my own. For example, Deloitte does not have a fixed seating arrangement as most of the consultants work at client’s site, therefore I need to find my seat and figure out the logistics of the building on my own. In addition, I have to reach out to my team in order to find tasks to do. As our team on the engagement are made up of consultants from different locations, I have to learn to schedule meeting with them remotely through the company’s internal technology.. I also have to seft-teach myself to navigate Deloitte internal web applications and research tools in order to complete my deliverables

Overall, my company did a really good orientation day for interns. They did an office tour for interns to get to know more about the basic things such as the cafeteria, bathroom, gym, and kitchen. However, because the tour did not include technical tools or software that my team is using, I had to discover them by myself. Sometimes, if I could not figure out how to use it on my own, I would make a question list and schedule a meeting with my peer mentor or manager to ask. As I have learned that there is no such thing as a dumb question, if I cannot find a solution to my question, I would rather go out and ask people for help than sit at my desk and get stuck.

I started the first day of my internship at Subaru today. Since I’ve had experience working as an intern in an advertising agency back in Vietnam, I got quite the hang on what is to be expected of an intern. My supervisor showed me a tour around the area and introduced me to almost all of the Marketing department personnel. It didn’t take long for me to navigate the basic amenities like coffee, photocopier, restroom etc.

One of the aspects that caught me off guard is how the meeting rooms are usually called by names and not numbers. Sometimes I would get an invitation or a scheduled meeting and not knowing where the room “Ascent” or “Outback” is. In addition, instead of having assigned roles and tasks given to me in the beginning, I will have to decide what aspects of digital marketing I want to explore. And that means scheduling one-on-one meetings with managers of each marketing division, understanding their primary work and explaining my interest so as to come up with a project for me. Finally, Subaru takes environmental impact very seriously, especially when it comes to trash classification/recycling. I sometimes have to pause myself to find out which trash goes to which bin. May take a bit of time to adjust, but if a company is that committed to protecting the environment, then I honestly don’t mind.

I began my internship with RSM this past Monday. The first two days of my internship were dedicated to a thorough orientation. During my orientation I learned about the company culture, how to enter my time/ expenses and even how to operate the high-tech coffee machine! The HR team did a great job making the first few days as seamless as possible.

This morning I was sent off on my own to begin working with the NetSuite consulting team. I was initially nervous because I was the only intern out of 32 to be working in this department. Upon waking in I noticed that the team was busy working on their computers. I did not want to interrupt anyone, and for a moment I was unsure how I was going to fit in as intern. However once meeting with my mentor, I was assigned tutorial videos and told I would soon be able to offer the associates help on their projects. I learned that a lot of the time, it will be my responsibility to offer assistance and find work to do. This was definitely a learning curve for me!

In the first week of my internship, I realized because of the nature of the client-serving work, EY requires its staff to charge time in details for different engagements so the company can generate billable hours for its clients. It was a new process for me and I have to start journalizing my working hours among different engagements and internal work. However, the process has been eased with great assistance from the training and my team. This work journal also helps me understand my working hours and manage time well.

I’m interning at Clutch Holding LLC, in Ambler, PA as a Data Science Intern. Clutch is a digital marketing company that collects customer data to help companies build and engage their customers in a better way. Mainly, Clutch acts as a CRM platform that analyzes data and provides companies with different suitable marketing campaigns and brand loyalty programs. As a tech intern working closely with the data science team, I will get to learn and apply analytic languages and homebrews including but not limited to Scala, R, Spark to train different data science models. Throughout this intern, I will also take the Agile process approach to software development, which focuses on promotes adaptive planning, evolutionary development and early delivery.

I worked as a Data Entry Analyst at Lyons Companies in Wilmington, Delaware. It is a medium sized insurance brokerage that specializes in commercial lines, employee benefits and captives along with some personal lines. I worked under the IT director, who at first gave me data entry assignments and had me fill out reports for all of the phishing emails that the staff received. He soon allowed me to start writing SQL queries since I had some experience with the language. I would pull information from the company’s database regarding sales, customers, and the staff. With this information I would then begin creating reports using Microsoft’s report builder and eventually presented these reports to upper management.
