HDR Engineering, Inc.

Jordan A. Chavez

University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, New Mexico
Major: Civil Engineering

As a summer intern, I was given job assignments that correlated directly with my baccalaureate emphases. Some of the projects involved working with HDR’s roadway group on projects for the City of Albuquerque Rapid Transit system. Several additional responsibilities included AutoCAD drafting, ADA ramp design, and field inspections. I received critical mentorship from my direct supervisor, and from many other professional team members. This internship has provided me with the experience needed to relate the theory and concepts learned inside the classroom with the professional practice on the job.
