Very interesting perspective. During my internship I was mainly focused on our testing and had pretty basic tasks, although I was moved around a lot to shadow different employees so I was able to learn about the entire spectrum of preparation, testing, and examination of parts that took place. The employees actually creating and modifying the design of the parts had much more responsibility (these were mainly the full time engineers), and although they still got their hands dirty in the lab with us, I did get a glimpse of their interactions with customers through morning meetings when they had to describe how their meetings went and how they dressed up in fancy clothes and spent entire days away to visit with them. My Japanese was not nearly good enough to begin working on designs or with customers, although some interns from my school were able to reach that level.
