Abstract
This report serves as a detailed description of my internship at the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) in Worcester, MA, during the summer of 2016. The internship was proposed by Brian Postale, the Urban Compliance Initiative Project Coordinator as a way to automate the integration of GIS data and the computation of data used for visualization purposes. The purpose of this paper is to describe the structure of the organization, my responsibilities as an intern, and my assessment of the internship.
The internship proved to be a precious experience and provided the opportunity to apply and enhance my knowledge and skills learned in Clark University to the work place. I gained more understanding of the working dynamics while practicing skills, meeting with people, and being exposed to different fields including environmental science, as well as zoning and planning.
