Reviews

4.6

I liked that the simulation gave me a realistic understanding of the type of work involved at GE Aerospace. It helped me develop practical skills, understand real-world tasks, and learn more about the aerospace industry. The experience was useful and engaging, especially for someone looking to build a career in this field.

I loved everything about this simulation! I had such a fun time, and I impart most of that because I actually felt like I was in the workforce helping the engineer when they had videos of a person showing us the turbo engines and where our issue was going to be around. I like hands-on activities so this really caught my attention and focus.

I enjoyed working on realistic manufacturing engineering tasks using engineering drawings and specifications. The simulation improved my problem-solving, data interpretation, and technical decision-making skills. It provided a valuable insight into GE Aerospace's manufacturing and supply chain operations.
