CAREER EPISODE 1
A) Introduction:
[CE 1.1]
The aforementioned career episode is created to provide a detailed explanation of an innovative engineering project, “Design, Fabrication, and Testing of the Kitchen Waste Module”. This project was conducted to fulfil the requirements of the 7th-semester Group Project at Thapathali Engineering College, located in Thapathali, Kathmandu, Nepal.
Here, I worked along with three other group members performing under the guidance of Er. Sudan Neupane. All project activities were carried out in the Department of Industrial Engineering from November 2016 to May 2017.
B) Background:
[CE 1.2]
Research has shown that kitchens and households account for around 87% of total energy consumption. The most common resources utilized are charcoal, firewood, crop residual, petroleum products, and cow dung to produce approximately 0.3-0.5 kg of LPG gas per day, depending on the family size.
No doubt, LPG gas has become an extreme waste of non-renewable energy and a huge financial burden. In this need, we have to propose a unique and sustainable solution to reduce energy consumption and costs. Thus, to address this global issue, an alternative option was proposed: the development of hybrid biogas.
[CE 1.3]
I was Tasked to Perform the following Duties:
- Conducted a detailed background study on my project and proposed a research methodology.
- Designed the series combination of sealed- floating bio-digester with the fixed dome of bio-digester using Solid Works software.
- Constructed the sealed-floating types of bio-digesters assembled with a fixed dome type of bio-digester.
- Collected kitchen waste from the kitchen for biogas generation
- Procured the required materials needed for the overall project.
- Prepared the report and slides for the group project presentation.

CAREER EPISODE 2
A) Introduction:
[CE 2.1]
The aforementioned career episode is based on my internship training program named OJT, which stands for “On-the-Job Training”, and it is one-on-one training located at the job site. I performed my training work at Trade Strategy Nepal (TSN) Plastcare Pvt. Ltd, which is located in Patan Industrial Area, Lalitpur, and it was carried out to fulfil the requirements of a Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering.
During this training tenure, I served as an internal auditor for ISO 9001:2008 at TSN Plastcare and assessed machine operations in the production department. The OJT lasted 90 days, commencing in May 2017 and completing in September 2021.
B) Background:
[CE 2.2]
TSN CORPORATION is one of the major organizations in the corporate sector of Nepal, and it works in various sectors like manufacturing, agriculture, technology sales, international trading/FMCG, education, healthcare, and energy. It mainly focuses on the production of PET plastic bottles by using three main machines: an injection moulding machine, a film blowing machine, and a blow moulding machine.
TSN Products provides protective barriers in both directions, preventing oxygen from entering from the outside and keeping carbon dioxide from mottling the end product. In Nepal, the TSN offers the best packaging products, including bottles, containers, jars, closures, and packaging films. I worked as an Engineering Intern for 90 days at TSN Plastcare.
At the start of my internship, sufficient training was provided related to organization operation, industrial safety, quick check, file reporting, and inventory/ stock management.
[CE 2.3]
My main Duties related to the Project are the following:
- Conducted an industrial visit to understand its manufacturing process.
- Performed internal auditing by collecting primary and secondary data to identify the root cause of the issues.
- Carried out systematic inspection of equipment to detect potential problems in root cause analysis and corrected them to prevent equipment failure.
- Calculated the stocks of products.
- Surveyed the production department to analyze machine operations and maintenance work
- Implemented quality assurance strategies for product and breakdown maintenance.
