Adam Fedrizzi’s feedback about RIIERP

Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering / Bachelor of Business Management
2009: BMW Group, Munich (Germany)

My international work placement was at BMW Group in Munich, Germany from April 2009 until January 2010. I worked within the Advanced Chassis Engineering Department at the Centre for Research and Innovation, mostly on the development of new concepts for the integration of the wheels and tyres with the vehicle chassis. I was fortunate that my work was full of variety, and I always found it challenging and interesting.

The highlight of my time at BMW Group was the month I worked at the test track assisting with the collection of wheel force and displacement data. It was great to be involved with the testing and to experience all the sights, sounds and smells of the track environment.

Munich was a great place to be based, and I was lucky enough to spend both the summer and winter in this cosmopolitan city. It was a wonderful place to experience the Bavarian culture, learn some of the language and meet new friends. I also had the chance to travel to some other cities in Germany and around Europe.

My time at BMW Group was enjoyable, rewarding and I learnt a great deal. My experience there has made me a better engineer and a more ‘worldly person’. I would like to send a big thank-you to Professor Abanteriba and the RIIERP team for making it possible.
