MY PERSPECTIVE AS AN INTERN

05 Sep 2023 04:44 PM - By Supriya

Introduction:

My name is Supriya cholla. I have completed my graduation in electronics and communication Engineering at JNTUH CES in August of 2022. I did a 4 month Electronics internship at Abhyaz. This was my first experience in the field and from this internship I was able to gain a lot of insight into the real world application of an Electronics intern as well expand my skills and knowledge,In addition exploring many other insights in the internship. After my graduation, I wanted to study further in my core so I took time to prepare for the exams. While I was waiting for the results to apply for the colleges, I was looking for a returnship opportunity and that’s when I found Abhyaz on Linkedin jobs. Meanwhile, I applied for my master’s and also gained knowledge from this internship experience. It is time flexible and reliable. Totally, a learning curve for me.

Working Experience:

The 4 months at Abhyaz taught me how to build and design circuits for different electronic softwares using different tools and methods to better present real world applications. I also further explored programming languages such as VHDL  in order to create and understand the design of the built in options. Thanks to Abhyaz I became more confident in building circuit design boards, Electronic Design Automation (EDA), PCB layout on my own as well as gained the opportunity to  work with an amazing team to accomplish the various tasks. Holding on to this opportunity was the best thing I did, as it provided a completely remote option for internship. The virtual office which we use for internship gives a wonderful office atmosphere at the comfort of your own home.

During the internship I could brush up various software’s in the electronics Engineering field which I previously used, along with new software’s in the electronics field. Software which is used in other fields was an add-on to me. It was fascinating that I could learn many new software’s and had hands on out-of-the-box activities like creating SOPs (Standard Operating Procedure), creating e-learning courses and question banks. It made me more confident when my presentation skills were much appreciated by my colleagues and mentors. I have also indulged myself as a webinar speaker, where i met other students and faculty to interact and share information. That was definitely a learning curve in my career.It is not only convenient for all but also a better option for seamless interactivity, networking, and learning provided by this platform.

Tools (software) I have Used:

1. KICAD :

KiCad is a free software suite for electronic design automation. It facilitates the design and simulation of electronic hardware. It features an integrated environment for schematic capture, PCB layout, manufacturing file viewing, ngspice-provided SPICE simulation, and engineering calculation.

KiCad is an open source software suite for Electronic Design Automation (EDA). The programs handle Schematic Capture, and PCB Layout with Gerber output. The suite runs on Windows, Linux and macOS and is licensed under GNU GPL v3

2. RSLOGIX:

Allen Bradley RSLogix 5000 PLC Programming is a highly desired skill in industrial automation. It's what allows one to create a set of instructions in order to control different devices.

RSLogix 500 is the design and programming environment for the 1747 SLC and MicroLogix controller platforms. RSLogix 5000 integrates with the Simulink modelling environment, enabling you to design and implement a control system on Allen-Bradley ControlLogix controllers

3. Open PLC Software 

OpenPLC is an open-source Programmable Logic Controller that is based on easy to use software. It is the first fully functional standardised open source PLC, both in software and in hardware. The OpenPLC project was created in accordance with the IEC 61131-3 standard, which defines the basic software architecture and programming languages for PLCs.

About this Internship:

I've discovered a lot of new information about how virtual workplaces operate, and I have a wonderful experience there while at home.Here you can take a list of open-source software provided by the mentor and work on it.It will broaden your experience, abilities, and knowledge.

Grateful to Mentors and Team:

I would like to thank our mentors Jayanthi ma’am, Tamizh and Dinesh sir for making this internship truly eye opening and beneficial. Without their guidance and support I would have not been able to get through this internship. The team not only created a comfortable environment for us to be able to grow as individuals but also supported us, helping us go beyond our roles and expanding our skills and knowledge to other fields as well. My other engineering co-workers are not only reliable but also supportive, making me enjoy this work experience deeply. I am grateful to have a dependable and supportive team at Abhyaz.

Conclusion:

Overall my experience at Abhyaz has helped me grow as a student and as an individual and special thanks to Sashi Ma’am for providing us with resources and expanding my expectations of what a website should be like. This has been an amazing experience for me.

Working at this Internship helped me grow as a person while also improving my technical and communication skills. I'd like to thank all the mentors and members for making it such a memorable and educational experience for me.
