Internships & Summer Programs
A little summary of some of my other work experiences and internships. I have had the opportunity to gain valuable pre-professional experience in the field of civil engineering which has enhanced my technical understanding. These were built upon thorough specific summer programs like Michigan Math and Science Scholars, which added an academic layer to my journey.
MMSS - Michigan Math & Science Scholar
Going to Michigan all by myself it was the first time I was traveling alone to a place where I knew no one. The Michigan Maths and Science Scholar Program gave me a glimpse of how college life will be and also enabled me to meet math enthusiasts like me from all over the world.
The course itself ‘Graph Theory’ taught by Dr. Doug Shaw and Dr. Will Dana was an amazing learning experience. Through this course I got to learn a new category of mathematics which further deepened my interest in the subject.
ALVA Architects
Diving deeper into my interest in architecture and engineering, I interned with ALVA Architects, a renowned firm in Delhi. During my initial days at the studio, I was constantly amazed by the attention to detail that went into designing and I eventually inculcated the same quality.
​
As part of my internship, I created AutoCad models for probable designs of washrooms that can be attached to the shelters in the future. Learning AutoCAD and the fundamentals of design made me want to refine the model for my initiative of building homeless shelters. On showing my designs to my supervisor, I was presented with some extremely important insights which I then incorporated in my design.
APL Apollo Tubes Limited
As an intern at Apollo, I explored the evolving usage of steel in the construction industry. Visiting the Apollo factory, I got valuable insight into the fundamental composition of steel and examined its strength while suggesting practical applications of it. Guided by Mr Tapesh, an expert in the field, I could immerse myself in the field and manipulate steel structures, understanding the versatility of steel and its importance in shaping the structures that surround us.
​
I created a report on steel strength and production. This experience reinforced my understanding of the critical role that steel plays in transforming architectural designs into tangible structures that withstand the test of time.
