i really enjoyed this expirience. It was my first time working on a task that felt like a real professional assignment. I would love to try more practical tasks like this in the future because they help me understand what kind of work i enjoy and what career path might be right for me. Thank you for giving students this opportunity!

Reviews
I enjoyed the practical learning experience and the opportunity to understand real-world industry tasks. The simulation helped me improve my technical knowledge, problem-solving skills, and understanding of industry practices. It was a valuable learning experience for my mechanical engineering career.
I really enjoyed how practical and easy the simulation was to follow. The tasks felt realistic and gave me the experience of working as part of a GE Aerospace manufacturing team. I especially liked using engineering drawings, specifications, and technician notes to make engineering decisions, which made the simulation feel like real workplace training rather than just an online exercise.
