Coastal Science & Engineering
Temporary
This coastal engineering graduation internship is a collaboration between Haskoning and DMC (member of BAM Group). The internship offers a rare chance to gain hands-on experience with 2D physical model testing on berm breakwaters, directly contributing to real-world solutions in coastal engineering. If you're eager to make a tangible impact and expand your technical expertise, this is a great opportunity to do so.
What you will do as coastal engineering intern
As a graduation intern, you will conduct 2D physical model tests on berm breakwaters using a wave flume. The tests will be conducted with another student, but you will have separate research topics. Your primary tasks will involve investigating the hydrodynamic behaviour of the breakwater and specifically the wave transmission and overtopping. You will analyse and compare your experimental results with existing literature and empirical formulas used in the field, with the aim of deepening understanding and potentially proposing improved prediction methods for practical application.
Strong collaboration and communication skills are essential, as you will work closely with another student during the physical model tests, while pursuing separate research objectives. An open, proactive attitude will help you to coordinate logistics in the laboratory and to make the most of your internship experience. The following is required:
During your internship, you'll have the opportunity to grow professionally in an inspiring and inclusive work environment. We offer support, guidance, and attractive conditions to help you get the most out of your internship:
