Personal Narrative: Working With Chirality Research Inc.

Internships provide real life experience in the work field. It enables us to get the hands on experience of working in the real world. When getting a job after graduating, an employer wants us to have an experience and not what we learned from the textbooks. Doing an internship helps us get a hands on experience in the real world and help us to socialize and network with the people around us of the same field.
Working with Chirality Research Inc. I got a hands on experience while dealing with machines and analyzing the stress on each element of the machines. It gave me an insight of what we would be, as an engineer, dealing with in the engineering firm after graduating. To get started, I was first trained on how to use machine design and analysis software and was asked to analyze the stress on the frame structure which was designed and how it would behave in different applied loads. I was also given a project to design a frame structure for a warehouse using SolidWorks and then use the designed structure to analyze the stress and predict the failure. This was an amazing experience as we did study in class but I was actually applying this design in real life. From the training phase to the completed design and analysis of the structure it took …show more content…
Some of them were getting used to the software and using the right structural material while analyzing and testing. While analyzing an element of a structure, we used different material then which is actually used to design which gave us the wrong results. But this challenge of deciding the right material was helpful in making us understand its importance. But after the project was successfully completed, I was surprised to get the results. We got the expected results and I had finally designed and analyzed a real world structural frame for a warehouse which was ready to be passed on get approved. So this was an amazing experience as an
