The 2 month internship programme at TU Delft gave a global exposure and also ideas for entrepreneurship. Translational Engineering projects the importance and teachings of multiple fields of engineering to build solutions ultimately benefiting the society. It is high time that every engineer upholds the interdisciplinary approach in executing their projects.
