Intern’s Name: Alex Johnson
Internship Position: Mechanical Engineering Intern
Company Name: ABC Manufacturing Ltd.
Reporting Period: October 8 – October 14, 2024

1. Overview of Weekly Activities

This week, I worked on a project involving the design and testing of new mechanical components for an assembly line. I assisted in running simulations using CAD software and observed the equipment testing process in the lab.

2. Achievements and Contributions

• Designed three preliminary component models using SolidWorks.
• Ran stress analysis simulations to determine component durability under different load conditions.
• Compiled a report of findings, which was presented to the engineering team for review.

3. Challenges and Solutions

• Challenge: Encountered issues with simulation software not aligning with project specifications.
  • Solution: Worked with a mentor to adjust software parameters and achieve more accurate results.

4. Skills and Knowledge Gained

• Improved proficiency in SolidWorks and stress analysis software.
• Gained practical experience in troubleshooting issues in simulations and real-world testing.
• Learned the importance of documenting engineering processes for review and collaboration.

5. Goals for Next Week

• Continue refining component designs based on team feedback.
• Begin learning about quality control procedures for manufacturing.
• Shadow a senior engineer during equipment installation for practical exposure to on-site work.
