These systems demonstrated how data, control, and electrical infrastructure work together to improve sustainability and operational efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>The Schneider Electric team shared insights into their work experience, explaining how engineers collaborate across electrical, software, and systems teams on real-world projects. They discussed the use of digital tools, automation platforms, and data-driven decision-making in daily workflows. The session also covered internship opportunities, where students were given clarity on the nature of intern projects, expectations in terms of technical fundamentals, problem-solving ability, and willingness to learn on the job. Overall, the visit provided a balanced understanding of both the technical environment and professional culture at Schneider Electric, making it a valuable learning experience for ECE students.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-22636\"
