During my internship at VSSC, I was assigned to the Quality Division Mechanical Systems (QDMS) in the Veli Research Centre (VRC). QDMS is a part of the Quality Assurance and Reliability Mechanical Integration Group (QRMIG), which falls under the Systems Reliability (SR) entity. I had the opportunity to explore various facilities, labs, and areas within the entity. Notable visits were made to the Vibrations Testing Lab, QDVF (Quality Divisions Vehicle Systems Environment Test Facility) lab, and QDTC lab (Quality Divisions Test and Evaluation of Control Systems). These visits provided valuable insights into the components and environmental tests involved in the quality assurance and certification of launch vehicles.Later in my internship, I had the opportunity to visit the rocket launching facility at Thumba Equatorial Rocket Launching Station (TERLS). Witnessing a live Sounding rocket launch was an exhilarating experience, and it deepened my appreciation for the work carried out by VSSC. The System Reliability (SR) entity, focuses on ensuring quality and reliability in launch vehicles, sounding rockets, space recovery experiments, reusable launch vehicles, and satellite elements. Within the mechanical area, the Quality Assurance (QA) functions encompass structures such as pressure vessels, stiffened structures, adhesive bonded structures, metallic materials, and fasteners. Additionally, QA covers control systems, stage separation, pyro systems, and assessment of acoustic, vibration, and structural testing. Reliability assessment is another crucial aspect.Overall, my internship at VSSC provided me with valuable hands-on experience, exposure to cutting-edge facilities, and a deeper understanding of quality assurance and reliability in the field of space technology. I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to such groundbreaking work and to learn from experienced professionals in the industry.

Summer Internship at RS Group | Process, Rotating Machinery, Static Equipment, Package Equipment, Piping, Instrumentation, and Automation DisciplinesDuring this virtual summer internship at RS Group, I had the chance to acquire hands-on experience and expand my knowledge in various aspects of basic design and detailed engineering within an oil refinery setting. Under the guidance of esteemed industry experts, Mr. Prakash Shetty, Mr. Surajit Chanda, Mr. Niraj Sethi, and Mr. Ananthanarayanan, all former EIL Subject Matter Experts, I engaged in comprehensive learning across multiple disciplines.Throughout the internship module, which took place from May 15th to July 22nd, I participated in the engagement of process engineering, rotating machinery, static equipment, package equipment, piping, instrumentation, and automation. These hands-on experiences allowed me to enhance my technical skills and develop a deep understanding of the intricacies involved in refinery operations.As part of the internship, I had the invaluable opportunity to visit BPCL's Kochi Refinery. This site visit provided me with a firsthand experience of the process units, captive power plant, and main control system, enabling me to witness the practical implementation of the concepts I had learned. It was an enlightening experience that further solidified my passion for the industry and expanded my perspective on the complex interplay between different elements within a refinery.Overall, this internship has not only strengthened my technical acumen but also sharpened my problem-solving, teamwork, and communication skills. I am grateful for the guidance and mentorship provided by the esteemed professionals at RS Group, as well as the exposure to real-world refinery operations. I look forward to leveraging this experience as a foundation for my future endeavors in the oil and gas industry.
