"During college, I took a year off from classes and interned at XYZ Engineering firm for an entire year. During this period, I was tasked with working on several different teams solving complex structural engineering calculations, conducting research, and estimating costs for materials. I believe that these technical skills, together with the soft skills that I acquired during my one-year internship program, helped me to understand the industry at a deeper level."
