So the first day of work went fairly well. Because my supervisor (Andy) didn't find out until Tuesday that I was starting today, I didn't have a computer or phone or anything. He started by showing me my cube and introducing me to the process improvement engineers I would be working with as well as the design engineers I will have the opportunity to work with too. There is a meeting of everyone in Andy's group tomorrow or Wednesday where they will go over all of the current projects that need to be assigned. There is a list of 97 improvement and a lot of design projects and I'll be able to pick what I want to work on based on my interests.
Because there was nothing for me to do, I went to Andy's meetings with him. The first one was a little awkward because it was the site leader and two other managers and me talking about some project that I knew nothing about. The second was a little better because a few more people were involved and they were all involving me/joking around with me.
We went to TGIFridays for lunch and then we had some time to kill before the second meeting so he drove me around Newark and University of Delaware so I could find my way a little better.
The rest of the afternoon was a tour of part of the plant. The manufacturing process is spread out among a few buildings in an industrial park so I only got to see some of it, but it was all pretty cool. For being a chemical company, this plant is dominated by Mechanical Engineers as far as engineering employees goes.
I'm really excited for the rest of this rotation. I think it will be a good one.
