Four engineering students meet the future at Conpleks

Four engineering students, from each their university, spend the autumn semester at Conpleks linking theory and practice through internships and bachelor projects.

The common reason, why the four engineering students choose Conpleks, is the possibility of working with job relevant assignments during their studies. For the two it is particularly the robots that have caught their interest, while it is embedded software for the two others.

All four are impressed that a smaller company like Conpleks has the will and resources to have four students at the same time. Especially due to the fact that many of the larger companies they know from their hometowns only take one or at the most two students at a time.

– If I had been in a larger company, I would probably have been accompanied by a colleague all the time. At Conpleks it is learning by doing, and I get to take responsibility for my own tasks, which is the most motivating way of doing things, says trainee Henrik Brogård, a Civil Engineering Student in Industrial Design at AAU. Kristoffer Gull, who writes his bachelor project at Conpleks and is a Diploma Engineer Student in Electronics at SDU, continues:

– I totally agree with Henrik. We get a lot of responsibility, and I think it is great to work on a relevant task, where the outcome actually can be used later on. In addition, I really like the way Conpleks does it. Although no one hands over the knowledge I need, and I have to work the things out by myself, I get the necessary backing and support, which keeps me on a professionally high level.

Regardless of a long tradition for having students every semester, Conpleks has never had so many students at the same time before. Furthermore this semester is extra special, as the four engineering students come from each their major university city.

Besides Henrik from AAU in Aalborg and Kristoffer from SDU in Odense, Conpleks has the pleasure of having Frederik Barløse, Diploma Engineer Student in Electronics at AU in Aarhus, as an intern, and Kristian Brogård, Diploma Mechanical Engineering Student at DTU in Copenhagen, working on his bachelor project.
