Internship Life 5

I already on the half way of my internship life. For last week, i help my senior to overhaul engine again. Now only i notice that, the company have standby 2 engines as a backup, so aas one of the excavator break down because of engine failure, Hitachi technician will uninstalled the failure engine and install the backuo engine on it at the same time. This kind of process need around 2 days to complete it. From here, the excavator still can temporarily work using the backup engine at the time we overhaul their engine. It is a very important for engine internal part keep clean and free dust. Because average one engine will work 8 hours per day, so we very carefully to make sure every part assembled is in good condition. Recently saw an email send by Uniten, start from now, the visiting supervisor will come and visit me. Hopefully what i learn over here will not dissapointed host supervisor and visiting supervisor.

Internship Life 4

Currently, i quite familiar with the company work style. I felt weird, how come the manager and my supervisor do not allow me to go out together with the technician for out station work. The reason provided is insurance do not cover me, company will not responsible for any accident occur if i am workig outside. Actually, i am more prefer to work outside, since we can really troubleshooting the problem on the spot. I think this is the things i can learn over here, but unfortunately it is just opposite to what i expected. This two week (week 4 and week 5) i undergo a very unbelieveable work process. Since all the technicians went out couple by couple, the workshop just left me and maybe supervisor worry about my safety if i work myself or understand that i not really know the exact solution in solving certain problems, he just simply assign me to clean and do some workshop maintainance. For an trainee engineer or even a normal person, if listen to workshop maintainance, it should be normal, but unfortunately is not here. The workshop maintance over here is actually define as sweep floor, clean the old store room, remove rubbish, and shift the soil. When i doing this kind of job, i was thinking, am i work as a trainee engineer or just a additional cleaner that paid with salary RM500?? This is a good question to discuss about how a company recruit a knowledgeable person to just clean their workshop that even a labour also able to do it.
