Industrial Sights

In the past, trainees have said that they wished that they had more industry exposure during their time in Switzerland. To respond to this need, IAESTE is creating Industrial Sights, for the first time in the summer of 2001. Industrial Sights, is designed to take trainees to different companies and introduce them to different technologies. The trips are designed to last between 2 and 4 hours and will cover the basic areas of that particular company.

DON'T be scared. This is not school and with every tour there will be two groups:

  • a more technical group (for those of you who might be studying that area or already understand the basics of that industry)
  • a general group (for those of us that just want to relax and enjoy the learning).

Now you might be wondering why you should go. Because it will be fun and the bonus is that you might actually learn something.


 

The first trip is to ABB Turbo Systems Baden Switzerland. ABB

ABB Turbo Systems:

ABB is the world's leading manufacturer of exhaust-gas turbochargers for diesel engines rated at 500 kW and above. The tour will consist of seeing the head quarters of ABB Turbo Systems, seeing the manufacturing facilities, the testing facilities, and a tour of the Thermal Machinery Lab.

Time:

It will start at 2p.m. on July 6th and is not expected to last past 5pm.

Location:

I will meet everyone at the Baden train station at 1:45. Spaces are limited to 15 people per group, as there are a limited amount of earphones (yes, we will go into the manufacturing facilities). Once the list is finalized, I will send a confirmation email with more details about 2-3 days before the tour.

Transportation:

It is up to the individual trainees to make their way to Baden where I will meet everyone at the train station. We will then make the 10 minute walk to ABB.

Note:

I know that we are all suppose to be working during these trips. So it is important to ask your boss/supervision if you can go to these events. They might want you to use some of your vacation time or see if you can make up the time lost.

If you have any questions or comments please feel free to email me at Letitia98@hotmail.com
