This is my last week working with Rice 360. Which is crazy. I have worked with this organization for 3 years now, on a wide range of projects. I’ve met some of my best friends through this program, and it has truly opened my eyes to the world at large. This...
Knowledge Transfer
Many changes have occurred here at the OEDK the last few weeks. The technology team has gone through a large turnover, and we now have 3 new members (not including myself). Becky, Erica, and Mary Kate are taking over for the Breath Alert, AutoSyP, and IncuBaby,...
Orientation
For those of you that didn’t have the chance to read my blog from last summer, I’ll do a short introduction. My name’s Bailey, and I just graduated in May from Rice University, with a B.S. in Bioengineering and a minor in Global Health Technologies....
See you later, California
Last week was my final week in the office. I can hardly believe how quickly summer has ended. Thursday was my last day in the office. It was quite hard between saying goodbye to everyone in the office and just realizing that the summer was over. It seems like just...
Wonderful Websites
Lately, I’ve been up to my knees in the Hadleigh Health Technologies website (I think the saying may actually be “up to my eyeballs,” but it’s not quite that dramatic). I’ve been creating pages for both the Pumani bCPAP and for the DoseRight syringe clips. It’s been a...
Hidden Talents
I’ve stumbled upon several things that I forgot I was good at in this past week, including microscopes, painting, and puns. Mid-week, 3rd Stone got a brand new microscope. We were working on assembling it, and it was very easy for me to hear a direction and know...
Halfway there
I’ve just passed the halfway point in my internship, and it’s quite bittersweet. I feel like I’ve learned so much and I’m really enjoying my time at 3SD, but the time is passing almost too quickly. This week is something of a turning point for me, as some projects are...
Websites, Conversions, and Lasers
This past week has provided an excellent example of the scope of work I’ve had the chance to do at 3rd Stone. I do a lot of different things, from computer work to meetings to hands-on tasks, and this week was a mixture of it all. One task I’ve been working on...
Learning and Teaching
This past week has been a blast, and I’ve learned a lot during it, primarily about professional engineering and design. I also had the opportunity to educate others about some of the work that 3rd Stone does. On Wednesday evening, Robert took all of the interns...
Fresh Off the Assembly Line
Last Wednesday, we drove up to Pride Industries near Sacramento. Not only was this an exciting field trip, it was an excellent opportunity to learn more about the business side of 3SD and see the actual assembly process. Since I’m new, I was given a tour of the...
