• Assigned to Module 51 (Intermediate Pressure Turbine Module, IPT) 
• Collaborated closely with team leaders and technicians.
• Worked on Rolls-Royce Trent engine projects during my tenure.
• Involved in technical aspects of the IPT module.
• Contributed to the efficient execution of tasks related to the Rolls-Royce Trent engine projects.

Currently in my second year of an aerospace engineering program at the Singapore Institute of Technology, designed to meet the increasing demands of the local and global aerospace industry, with a specific focus on autonomous aerial vehicles. The curriculum provides a solid foundation in engineering through mathematics and physics courses, laying the groundwork for in-depth knowledge of unmanned aerial systems.

I am gaining comprehensive insights into aerodynamics, flight physics, programming, and composite materials. The specialized areas include guidance, navigation, and control systems, unmanned propulsion systems, data analytics, risk and reliability, and aviation legislation. This program emphasizes practical skills, enabling the application of technical knowledge to develop innovative approaches, solutions, and implementations for unmanned aerial systems.

Noteworthy aspects of the program include application-oriented training in aerospace engineering, tailored to Singapore's context, a significant emphasis on Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) applications, and an Overseas Immersion Programme (OIP) at the University of Glasgow. As a second-year student, I am actively engaging with this dynamic curriculum, acquiring a diverse skill set and knowledge base that will prepare me for a successful future in the field of aerospace engineering, particularly in the exciting realm of autonomous aerial vehicles.
