GE Power Systems
Manish Das '04 (Electrical Engineering)

On my co-op at GE Power Systems in Schenectady, N.Y., I worked on the controls development for GE's next A14/A15 world-class steam turbines. I used several tools to extract and reduce field data on the variation in mechanical processes and events that occur during turbine operation to identify potential root causes. I reviewed an enormous amount of data and worked daily with very sophisticated software and programmers in India to build a tool to help GE engineers and customers develop a more comprehensive overview of the turbine start-up times. It was a fun yet intense job – one that has built my self-confidence.
