Introduction This is my work experience report. It contains a brief report on the company and the engineering environment where I was employed. It will also include a summary of the work I did and the Key Learnings I had as well as their implications for my future employment. In essence this report will be the summation of all that I have done in my practicum The Company and Engineering Environment The company which I spent my three months with is called Sakht Hamandishan Aran Company (3A), A contractor which participates in gas piping projects across the Guilan province in Iran. Although the firm is not in the Aerospace industry Sakht Hamandishan Aram Company was engaged in gas piping which required considerable large amounts of fieldwork and practical engineering work to maintain. The business is fairly large where the engineers working the gas piping are just part and parcel of a larger organization which is committed to successfully constructing the gas pipe for the Guilan province. They work hand in hand with other workers to ensure the success of the project. I have learned that the nature of the engineering profession necessitates field work. The clean-clear-cut environment of the class room is nothing like the rough and ready atmosphere in the field. There is a great need to be an expert in complex computations and engineering concepts because there is very little time to make computations and there is far less room for error. While in the classroom making mistakes has consequences only on my grades, in the field a mistake would cost valuable time and money. At worst an error in judgment could even result in the loss of life. Simply put in the field what was learned in the classroom must come automatically. The knowledge learned in school must become instinctive as that is the precise reason why the expertise of an engineer is needed. On the other hand, I must acknowledge that the field of Aeronautical engineering is not as risky or as environmentally exposed as engineering in the gas lines. However, Aeronautical engineering is even more precise. Lives are at stake if, for example, we fail to properly maintain aircraft. Or if I end up in the R&D sector my skill is even more vital. Nevertheless, my experience in the Gas lines has given me a great appreciation of what is truly needed to excel in my chosen field. Scope of Work Done and Key Learnings for Future Employment My initial duties required me to stay at the office and be a productive member of the office staff. This included filing reports taking some phone calls, sorting documents, data entry and providing reports using different software such as MS Word, Excel, Project. In other words, my initial work made me thoroughly acquainted with the office work required at Sakht Hamandishan Aran Company. A more narrow-minded individual would fail to see the relevance of office work to an engineer. However, my own perspective tells me that this experience has taught me a lot about the back-office and logistics required for Gas Pipe engineering. It has shown me that there are numerous support services required to keep the engineering teams out in the field. I now have a deeper understanding of what kinds of tasks are needed. Not conte
