What can I expect to do during my internship?

While your day to day activities will vary upon what type of internship you are completing, you can expect to be given a generous amount of responsibility performing real projects. You won't be fetching coffee or spending your days in front of a copy machine. You will put the theories you have learned in college to use for practical applications.
