    When I worked at Kessler Foundation in the summer I realized that it was a project based organization, due to the fact that the Human Performance Lab was divided into separate units based on the different projects. Their were sectors for Gait Analysis, neuroimaging and exoskeleton. Within each sector their were individuals that carried a particular skill set needed to complete their project. I got involved in the nueroimaging sector where I focused on being able to produce 3D models. This allowed for EMG and EEG data collection from breast cancer survivors who underwent chemotherapy. While working on this project I had a specific role of creo design, 3D printing and manufacturing. However, since it was a project based organization I learned to work with EEGs and EMGs when my other lab members needed help. It was not like a functional organization which does not promote team work.
