I\u2019ve been able to hold and inspect parts, including gearboxes. It\u2019s challenging, at first, to go from a 2D drawing to 3D physical parts and understand how all the pieces come together. My team has been so helpful in building that knowledge base and providing me with hands-on experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of Josiah\u2019s favorite memories from interning at Bell is a trip to the Amarillo Assembly Center. \u201cSeeing variants of the V-22 in person made everything tangible.
