Summer Internship Experience After being introduced to DCOF operations through their ENGR 115 projects, studentsinterested in furthering their experience with community engagement projects were offered thechance to work in teams as paid interns on other projects over the summer of 2023. In total, sixstudents participated in the summer internship, five of whom were pre-majors. Figure 2 showsstudents during visits to DCOF along with the inside of a hen house where the projects werelocated. Figure 2.

I will use this information to minimize the negative impact my projects have on the public. My goal is to finish every project leaving a positive impact on the community effected rather than a negative one as seen with the Highway 75 project.While not all the student comments were as developed as the ones above, overall, the project seemed tobe well received by the students with no negative comments.
