Ready for the world of mechanical engineering

Lasse A. Bodilsen - Former intern at FuelTech, now employed as Mechanical Engineer

“In my journey to become a mechanical engineer I have spent the past six months as an intern at Fueltech, where my goal was to prove and develop the theoretical knowledge gained through my studies. In this period, I have been part of the engineering department, where I have had the opportunity to dive into many kinds of projects and work with different people with individual sets of skills. The variety of tasks I have been given has allowed me to investigate a large spectrum of mechanical engineering in general, and at the same time has given me a vision of how an active company works in all its parts from an idea to a final product.

The main part of my internship I have spent in the development group of the GVU project, where I started out making 2D technical drawings, and learned the workflow of the department. Later on, I started on calculations of flanges and gaskets, and eventually started elasticity simulations on the whole frame of the GVU Unum with summarising documentation. Lastly, I worked singlehanded on designing a set of vibration brackets for an already existing product, whereafter these were produced, and I spent a couple of days in the workshop to mount and test the setup. Although this project was short in time, it was quite exiting to follow the workflow from a problem to mounting the brackets myself.

The experience I have gathered at my internship at Fueltech and being involved in all departments with a major feeling of responsibility and trust from the colleagues, really has given me the feeling, that this is exactly what I am meant to do. With all my experience from this internship I feel ready for the world of mechanical engineering in front of me.”
