Engineering Project Management, University of Melbourne, Australia.
Control Engineering and Instrumentation, Xi'an University of Technology.
Edison Engineering Development Program
GE was my first company after working part-time on some government projects in Melbourne, Australia.
I'm not an environmentalist, but I always pay great attention to CO2 emissions and environmental pollution. GE's leading position in energy products and technology, and its positive and passionate attitude towards green solutions attracted me. In addition, programs such as Edison Engineering Development Program (EEDP) which I enrolled in, allow junior engineers like me to explore anything from wind power to nuclear power during the two years rotation and extensive engineering training course. This is also a good transition time for graduates in their early career to gain breadth and experience.
During my first rotation, I was based in Shanghai as part of CTC wind application team. This project-oriented role enabled me to assist with the technical risk evaluation of a wind project, analysis of wind resources and the mechanical load to support sales and customers. This rotation allowed me to understand the organization on a system level using my project management background. While moving into the Product Definition Engineering team in my second rotation, I focused more on detailed mechanical design, which helps me to understand GE products in a very different perspective than the first rotation. I'm still enjoying it now.
Having the opportunity to get into the Energy business and work with so many tallented people in one of the best companies in the world is already the most rewarding experience for me. Moreover, I'm also very excited about the volunteer program operated in GE. A lot of employees are involved and I'm very proud to be one of the big GE family!
