	Engineering project:
	Two of my schoolmates and myself carry out a project. Our task is to design a controling station for a JAG-combination-jack which is a product of NEUTRIKS, placed in Liechtenstein. The project contain several specialities like rationalization, automation and control technology, sensorik analysis and manipulation technology. If our project is implemented two or more ladies will loose their job which is a hard thing in my opinion but that is the normal work which we are trained for. Another optional objective is to design a machine which insert the three basic-terminal into the jack. We are looking forward to ending up with our work right before Easter.
	Practical experience:
	I had some experience during my summer vacations. The last four years I worked with more or less two different companies: 1999 + 2000 + 2001: I worked with DEPAC – a company which produce mechanical seals. I had the opportunity to work at several departments such as the assembly area, the workshop and the designing office. 2001: I worked with another company called “GEBA”. They produce machines which are mainly used for farming like barrels for liquid manner, wood splitters, dumpers and so on. My task was to refurbish some old machine-parts, welding shelves and built a small cart. 2002: This was the most exciting one because the location was in South Africa with DEPACSA a subsidiary of the previously mentioned company DEPAC. I was in the position of a technical assistant. During 6 weeks I had some experience in the refurbishment of mechanical seals and pumps. I also assisted with the installation of mechanical seals at various plants.
