I posted this in a different forum already, but nobody really seemed to know, so I'm trying again here. I'm wondering what category a certain project would fit under in an application.
During the summer of my grade 11 year, I worked at McCain Foods as a student intern (6 weeks). I completed an independent study investigating the performances of several ATP luminometers and chemical surface swabs for the Potato Processing Centre. When my work term ended, I had completed a scientific report with introduction, method, calculations, results, et cetera.
Does this count as legitimate research, or should I put this somewhere else in my applications? I didn't really get a publication out of it, but according to my supervisor, it was sent to one of McCain's global stakeholders and could possibly affect McCain's choice in future sanitation devices for their processing plants. Hence, it did have some effect on matters on a global scale.
