“I really enjoyed gaining confidence and skill in the ArcGIS program used to map pedestrian road assets across Massachusetts, and getting the opportunity to share my team and I's discoveries at the end of the summer! I also had the opportunity to travel to job sites where construction was being performed to learn more about how municipal projects like the Acceler-8 program, where eight bridges along route I-90 were replaced in eight weekends. ”
