🔬 Completing My Technical Internship at IPT

From 2009 to mid-2010, I had the opportunity to carry out my technical internship in Mechatronics at the Instituto de Pesquisas Tecnológicas do Estado de São Paulo (IPT) — also known as the Institute for Technological Research of the State of São Paulo.

The internship was part of my course at Escola SENAI “Anchieta” and took place at IPT’s Laboratório de Metrologia Mecânica, within the Centro de Metrologia Mecânica e Elétrica (CME).

Over this period, I worked on calibration procedures in the areas of force, mass, and pressure, applying both technical standards and precision measurements. It was a hands-on environment, with high technical standards and a focus on quality systems.

This was not just a school assignment — it was real-world experience. The lab had demanding routines, and I learned to work with accredited equipment and detailed procedures. It made a big difference in how I saw engineering — not just as theory, but as something tangible and exact.

It was a great closing chapter for my time at SENAI, and a key moment in connecting what I had learned in the classroom with real industry work.
