About the project
Tur Cos Ta Posibel provides short placements in Aruba for mechanical engineering students. Suitable for both apprentices and recent graduates, our program accommodates individual learners seeking to further their education after completing their college studies, for a period of 4 to 9 months.
Projects are tailored to match learners’ studies and specific fields, including the mechanical maintenance and general upkeep of a submarine.
Our aim is to provide hands-on experience in this unique field, along with cultural immersion, enhancing skills and understanding of mechanical engineering.
Participants also visit local sites, such as WEB, the water desalination plant, to understand purification processes.
This program offers practical learning opportunities, deepening students’ knowledge of engineering in Aruba’s diverse environment. If the project is longer than 6 months, there may be an opportunity to gain a scuba diving qualification (PADI).
Knowledge Skills and Competences to be gained
- PADI qualification (only 6months+ projects)
- Understand the principles of marine electrical engineering
- Understand the principles of integrated vehicle electronic systems
- Be able to carry out risk assessments and general submarine maintenance
- Be conversant with Health and Safety procedures and emergency systems
- Enhance customer service skills and competency in assisting tourists
