My experience

Overview

Built many testing set-ups using power tools and administering tests.||My main project was quantifying how long a project takes to go through the lab for testing. I spent only about my last two weeks on the project and completed it to the boss's expectations. I did not feel like the project I was doing was very useful for predicting lab time or improving lab efficiency; however, the bosses upstairs claimed it had an impact and they seemed excited for it. ||The work was not super mentally challenging or could be considered much of engineering. I really enjoyed working down in the lab with the guys. Even though it was not super challenging, it was an enjoyable job working with my hands and doing more ""technician"" type work. Paid pretty well at $20/hr.
