Summer Interns that have completed our internship program have stated: “I learned many things during my 8 weeks here at Bart, but the most meaningful "lesson learned" came from working in an interdisciplinary team, learning to play off one another's strengths and collaborating on ideas that would not have occurred to me on my own. I also learned to appreciate the work environment here at Bart from observing and interacting with not only my mentors, but the rest of the division as well, and I hope to find similar experiences in my professional career.” “BART provided me a new perspective for Engineering that none of my previous experienced did. As an intern, my journey at BART was super exceptional and full of fun.” “During my internship, I learned the importance of collaborating with different Engineering and Maintenance disciplines on practical projects. BART has taught me how to effectively/professionally communicate my ideas and objections not only to my own team but also to other related teams working on the same project.” “The BART internship gave me exactly the opportunity to apply the knowledge I had to real life application that can affect thousands of people a day.
