Hello,
We are Jan (Bionics B.Sc.) and Max (Mechanical Engineering B.Sc.), interns with the lightweight construction specialists at TGM since the beginning of April.
Instead of the planned internship abroad in China, I thankfully found myself at TGM at very short notice and am looking forward to learning a lot about lightweight construction and principles.
Max
As lightweight construction is my major field of study and I wanted to experience Berlin, my internship is a win-win. I'm still missing out on city life at the moment, but I'm happy to start my day-to-day engineering work from home.
Jan
From the very beginning, we were involved in software development as part of a customer project as well as in the identification and implementation of lightweight construction potential in an internal research project. These tasks give us a good insight into TGM's working methods and approach to consulting projects. We particularly like working independently and the informal atmosphere with our colleagues. We feel very welcome and are looking forward to meeting our colleagues in person at a team event at the end of this week.
In addition to the design of various CAD models, our tasks also include FEM calculations, where we can apply and expand our knowledge from our studies. We would also like to delve deeper into the design and layout of lightweight construction potential.
We hope that as the curve flattens out, we will also be able to visit customers on site to gain even deeper insights into lightweight construction consulting.
