5.1.6.1 Preliminary steps

If possible, you should try to build on your theoretical knowledge.

It can be difficult to do an internship in an area in which you have not yet acquired any basic knowledge. 

Before you start your internship, make sure that you refresh some basic knowledge, that most companies in the automotive industry require.

This includes a confident handling of all MS-Office programs, knowledge of hardware and software architecture, basic knowledge of C/C++ and a solid technical understanding.
