I implemented my skills in the designing of die for casting

component bracket.

I became familiar with the first principle method of

measurement using the metrology instruments like vernier
caliper, screw gauge, height gauge, slip gauges etc., I
PE 1.2 b

developed my skills in using metrology instruments during C.E.2.3.2, CE

3.3.2
my bachelors degree and this made me more familiar in this
area, as I was assigned as a Quality Assurance Engineer in
my work place, I gathered a wide knowledge in the use of
instruments for measuring all the complex dimensions.

I also went through a lot of metrology instruments and

gathered data about the various types instruments available

C.E.1.2.2,

and their usage. This gave me an opportunity to have hands

C.E.1.3.1.6,
C.E.2.2.2,

on experience in using most of the instruments including the

PE 1.2 c

roundness tester, surface finish tester, CMM, calibration

knowledge in manufacturing process like turning, boring,

C.E.2.3.2,

tapping, drilling, grinding, honing and also my experience in

C.E.3.2.2,

using the metrology instruments. My understanding of

C.E.3.3.4

engineering drawing was useful to study the component

drawings in my workplace.

My second Professional career was very interesting. Since I

already had experience as a Quality Engineer, I implemented
the use of control charts to identify the area that needed
PE 1.4 c

C.E-3

attention. I also used my experience in using specialized

quality equipments to train the QA persons in my company. I
also developed my knowledge about the metrology
equipments.

Understanding
PE 2.2

of

social,

cultural,

global,

and

environmental responsibilities and the need to employ

principles of sustainable development
I interacted with the design, planning, production, and

machine operators. Coordinated with the team members on

C.E.3.2.2,

behalf of quality department in the development of new

C.E.3.3.1,

product manufacturing.

C.E.3.3.3,
C.E.3.3.4

Ability to utilize a systems approach to complex problems

and to design and operational performance
When developing a process plan for new quality testing
system, I considered the process time, the way of loading
and unloading, operational parameters, life of the tools and
the features in various machines. Then I selected a machine

PE 2.3 a

which met the desired requirements. I got the commitment of

the machine supplier about the process capability of the

C.E.2.3.3

machine. Once the machine arrived to the company,

commissioning was done and I checked the various machine
parameters and the quality of the components produced to
calculate the process capability. Then the machine was
accepted based on my report.
In our daily meetings with the engineers of various
departments, we discuss about various issues in our line. As
5

C.E.2.2.2,

a Quality engineer, I was very much concerned about the

PE 2.3 b

C.E.2.3.4

quality of the product produced. Before going to meeting I

used to analyse the problems and find all the causes for the
problem and I discussed about it with my team members and
actions were taken and the defects were reduced. Thus I
made continuous improvement in our line.

PE 2.4

Proficiency in engineering design

During my training, I applied my design knowledge in

PE 2.4 a

technique considering all the engineering requirements like

C.E.2.3.2,

the dimensions of the gate, sprue bush, mould cavity etc.,

C.E. 2.3.3

designing a die for a component and new quality testing

During my professional career, to eliminate the defects in the

component, I designed special gauges for inspection. This
PE 2.4 b

helped the operators to inspect the components easily and

C.E.2.3.3

quickly. This significantly reduced the inspection time and

the inspection errors caused manually.
PE 2.5

Ability to conduct an engineering project

I understood all the mechanical aspects that I came across
during my training company with my basic knowledge that I

PE 2.5 a

C.E.1, C.E.2.,
C.E.3.,

gained from my professional course. I successfully

completed my tasks within the time frame given during my
training and I submitted my reports to my college by
managing deadlines.
In my work place, we had a problem in the finished product.
I analysed the issue and introduced an additional functional
test to ensure that only good components reaches the
customer. Then, I further analysed and found there was

PE 2.5 b

problem in one of the measuring instrument which was not

consistent. I analysed the instrument and found that there

C.E-2

was oil in the air gauge. I rectified it and the problem was
solved. I made a cleaning schedule for the instrument.
PE 2.6

Understanding of the business environment

PE 2.6 a

I made cost reduction by localizing a production process for

C.E.2.3.3

making certain operations.

C.E.3

problem and explained them the reason for occurrence and

gave them additional information to prevent it from
happening.
I gathered information by communicating with the suppliers

PE 3.7 b

when ever I feel that the datas available is insufficient. I also

understood most of the issues by using my knowledge about
