During Winter Break 2022, from 19 to 23 December, three of my peers and myself interned and learned at Mahidol University Faculty of Engineering (MUEG) under the tutelage of Rung Kittipichai (Kit), a professor of combustion and engines. During our internship, we were able to observe and learn about combustion, engines, and the physics, chemistry, and advanced details of mechanical engineering.
I learned about the movement of fluids and heat within a vacuum and in an engine, the physics and chemistry needed and used for mechanics and combustion, mechanisms, tools, and control of such instruments. During our visit, we also explored one of Thai Airways' facility and their flight simulation, where we learned how to operate and control the steering of an airline, the complicated and intricate instruments used, and the importance of everything, especially the physics and mechanics of all of the plane.
Although I did learn a lot, I believe if we stayed for a couple more days we could learn more about the advanced detailing and other sub-detailing departments to further our knowledge than just combustion itself and an airline and its instruments.
Below is my Certificate of Internship at the Department of Mechanical Engineering as well as some photos of our internship.
The Robotics & Artificial Intelligence (RAI) Camp is an annual camp and competition held by King Mongkut's Institute of Technology Latkrabang (KMITL). I went and participated in the camp in the fall of 2022 (November). Unbeknownst to me at the time, it was actually for 12th graders applying to the institute for their undergraduate/graduate degrees. I only learned it was a competition on the final day when it was announced.
Although I was a 10th grader and couldn't actually enter even if I could, I still participated in the event, getting around the middle of my older peers. It was very fun. They featured many "booths" and "events." Called "lab tours" and "workshops," we were able to visit different parts of the college and the different robotics, programming, AI, and engineering facilities, programs, and equipment there. This included a Boston Dynamics-like robotic dog, Arduino-programmed infrared-associated movement robots, gyroscopic 6-axis robotic arm, drones, and AR/VR/MR. The main courses included the Metaverse, AR/VR/MR, drone, 3D modeling, image processing, mobile robots, and automation They also hosted seminars ranging from Nvidia to student-hosted activities.
All in all, it was a very fun experience and informed me greatly of the details and more advanced topics and subjects relating to engineering, robotics, and AI. I learned about the future of this department and future of our advancements as a whole.
Below are some serious and some fun images during my time at the camp.
