What’s it really like going from college to your first real project — inside a fully integrated architecture & engineering firm?
In this episode of Developing Designers, Brooke shares her experience as a mechanical engineer three years into her career — from feeling intimidated at 21 to confidently coordinating across disciplines in a pod-style environment.
We discuss:
The jump from theory to real-world HVAC design
Learning on the job without having taken HVAC in school
How pod culture accelerates growth
The power of in-person communication
Coordination between mechanical, electrical, structural, and plumbing
Lessons learned from real project stress
Why culture matters more than remote convenience
If you’re a student, emerging engineer, or firm leader thinking about team structure — this episode is for you.
