During his second year of study, Nicholas spent

How did you become involved with Schenck
Process?
The University of Technology, Sydney has an
automated online system that assists industry
partnering. This system allows a student to apply
for internships at companies within our field of practice in any areas of
interest we have in both the private and government sectors. Through this
system I was able to apply for an opportunity to work at Schenck Process.
What kind of tasks did you undertake during your internship?
Tasks I undertook involved quality assurance, workshop test analysis, the
creation of design spreadsheets, streamlining of existing work practices,
project documentation, programming and various engineering
calculations. What I enjoyed most about my time at Schenck Process
was the fact that I felt as if I was making a positive contribution to the
company with the work I completed.
You also had the responsibility of training incoming
interns. Did this provide you with additional skills?
