Pierre Maisonnave
Business engineer at ALSTOM ( internship from April to September)
I am currently studying engineering at ENSIL (Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Ingénieurs de Limoges) where I am acquiring strong knowledge in materials and microelectronic. I will graduate from my engineering school in September 2012
My will to understand the business world turn me to carry out my internships in various areas. I discovered the production sector at SNECMA, I also worked in R&D, in consulting at CETIM and finally in business engineering at Alstom.
My interest in global finance and economy push me to perform my studies in non-French speaking countries. I studied half a year in Spain and my fascination for Chinese economic miracle led me to work there for four months.
My training and my professional experiences gave me the chance to better understand the business world as a whole. What is more, the discovery of foreign cultures and languages such as Spanish, English, German and Mandarin, will undeniably help me to fit into a increasingly globalized workplace.
After graduating from my engineering school, I intend to do a specialized master in business or to work in business engineering.
2011 - 2011REACH is a European regulation controlling the use of chemical products in Europe. Step by step many products are to be banned, and manufacturers have no visibility or knowledge on this European directive .
As part of this regulation, my work was to provide companies with technology watches on chemical products that could be banned in the short term.
Strong knowledge of excel and macro-programming was needed to accomplish my mission.
2010 - 2010I carried out an internship in a Chinese university. The aim of my work was to study the influences of the working parameters of a electron beam machine (HCPEB) on the features of a HCPEB-treated steel sample . The HCPEB is a surface treatment machine that use a low energy and high current pulsed electron beam . This treatment changes the steel surface layer feature , and really increase the hardness.
2009 - 2009SNECMA is an important aeronautic company. I was working in a management service and my aim was to ensure the follow-up of airplane motor parts.
