I was part of the Engineering Department as an Electrical and Electronic Engineer assistant and I was responsible for a project which was about an AC motor controller.

I was part of the research department as an Electrical and Electronic Engineer researcher, which had an ultimate goal to investigate new technologies and the possibility of applying them in the existent machinery.

I was placed in the installations department where I had the chance to participate in the development of a small project from the beginning to the end. Furthermore, with the help of an experienced engineer, I attended all the meetings concerning the specific project and I also had the chance to participate in conversations with other engineers such as civil or mechanical.

I dealt in detail with designing electrical single diagrams and calculated with high degree of accuracy the selection of various protection devices, voltage drop, cable sizing etc. Furthermore I contributed to the preparation of the electrical layouts of various types of projects such as office buildings, public industrial and residential projects.On top of that I worked closely with the contractors in the various sides trying to correlate my academic knowledge and the theoretical work done in the office with the actual implementation.
