interview
Electrical and computer engineering
Practice department: the Advanced Automotive Systems R&D Center
Why did you choose in sumitomo electrical engineering practice?
I chose an internship here because of the advanced vehicle systems research and development center for research and development projects related to self-driving cars, I'm very interested in this field has been.Sumitomo electric is the world's leading innovative research and development company.Therefore, I hope to participate.In addition, this rare opportunity to internship can let me learn knowledge, experience, work culture at the same time, some understanding of the country.
What is your work content during the internship?
My main task is to build a model of intersection traffic simulation environment, in order to avoid the car or in the process of change lanes at the intersection of two different roads.
In recent years, with the rapid development of self-driving technology, people are increasingly looking forward to the popularity of self-driving cars.At present, dominated by manned vehicle, and all vehicles in the short term will not change into self-driving cars at the same time, so we focus on the mixed traffic areas, namely the manned vehicle and networking self-driving vehicles (CAV) on the same road.In this case, the behavior of self-driving cars will affect the manned vehicle driving, even to an adverse effect on the traffic.Because of self-driving cars speed does not exceed the statutory speed, artificial car overtaking situation will be common, causing traffic problems or accidents.
You what is the biggest harvest during the internship?
In terms of the project, we use the simulation software.I need according to actual traffic conditions and human behavior to write code.Although this is a challenging work, I was with the help of the teacher finished the task successfully.Learn how to use the graphical user interface for the software programming let me harvest a lot.
I hope the internship can longer, because team members are very nice to me, and other interesting project is in the process of implementation.
The internships are what help for your career development?
Worked in research and development department of advanced automotive division to help me improve the engineer skills, and learned a networked automatic vehicle the relevant knowledge of the industry, and the industry will become more important in the coming years.This practice is not only a let me proud of experience, more important is that it opened the door for me, let me see more opportunities.
You want to plan to sumitomo electrical engineering practice of the students what to say.
The internship program will help to broaden your horizons.If you want to learn the knowledge, enhance comprehensive ability, so this internship is the best choice.Learn some Japanese and local etiquette will help you more quickly into the practice environment.
