Real Projects. Real Deliverables.
Intern deliverables are benchmarked against professional industry-standard outputs and must be submitted to both the company and your professors. This is not busywork — your output ships to production or becomes part of our open-source library.

Internship Projects & Scope

Eight active project tracks spanning engineering design, digital fabrication, sustainable energy, and embedded systems.

⚙️ FreeCAD Migration

Replacing proprietary software (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Revit) with FreeCAD's BIM, FEM, CFD, and 3D workflows. Includes Automated Bill of Quantities (BOQ) and custom workbench development using Python scripts driven by AI tooling.

🏙️ Procedural Design & Automation

Adopting "World Building" disciplines from Game Development to automate factory, warehouse, office, and residential layouts. Includes procedural generation of fire exits, traffic flow paths, workspace clusters, pipe/duct routing, lighting, and raised floors.

🧊 Digital Twins & Virtualization

3D virtualization of plants and facilities using Blender and Godot to simulate logistics and inventory. Build interactive digital replicas of real facilities to support operations, space planning, and client presentations.

🖥️ Data Center Design

Planning and infrastructure for high-availability technical environments. Covers rack layout, cable management, cooling topology, power redundancy, and compliance documentation for data center build-outs.

🌿 PhotoBio-reactor

Research and development in Algae Harvesting and Carbon Capture. Design, prototype, and iterate on photobioreactor systems for sustainable carbon sequestration and biomass production.

☀️ Industrial Systems

Industrial Microcontrollers, Solar Power integration, and HVAC systems. Work on embedded controls, sensor interfaces, energy monitoring dashboards, and solar ROI modeling for real installations.

🌾 Field Engineering & Sustainability

Practical field work with ESCO Solutions focusing on energy-efficient infrastructure. Site audits, energy audits, sustainability reporting, and implementation of green building standards. See escoincsolutions.com.

🏭 Fabrication & Machining

Hands-on technical training at the Manufacturing Plant (Cabuyao Location). CNC operation, precision measurement, fixture design, and production workflow documentation — bridging the gap between CAD design and physical manufacturing.

Three Technical Pillars

Every intern is trained in at least one of these open-source technology pillars depending on their discipline.

Engineering Mandate · All Disciplines

FreeCAD &
Python Automation

All Engineering and Architecture interns are trained in FreeCAD. CGG is building the first dedicated FreeCAD Dev Team in the Philippines for procedural automation using Python scripts and AI model integration.

  • BIM, FEM, CFD, and 3D parametric workflows
  • Python scripting to automate CAD tasks
  • Connect CAD data to AI models
  • Automated Bill of Quantities (BOQ)
  • National initiative: replacing AutoCAD & SolidWorks

Architecture Focus · Spatial Design

Blender &
Geometry Nodes

Architecture students undergo specialized Blender training focused on Procedural Building and Geometry Nodes — applying game-industry World Building techniques to real architectural design automation.

  • UX for Spaces — procedural rules for spatial design
  • World Building for factories, warehouses, offices
  • Automated workspace cluster topology
  • Geometry Node add-on reverse engineering
  • Deliverables: procedural tools that automate majority of manual workflow
Engineering Focus · Infrastructure

Procedural
Design Techniques

Engineering interns develop Procedural Design techniques for technical infrastructure. These designs borrow logic from game engine environment generation to make infrastructure paths adapt dynamically to architectural changes.

  • Pipe and duct routing automation
  • Lighting layout generation
  • Raised floor systems
  • Dynamic pathfinding for fire exits
  • Foundation for Comfac FreeCAD custom workbenches
🇵🇭
National Open-Source Engineering Initiative
CGG advocates for national FreeCAD adoption to save businesses millions in licensing costs and support sustainable Philippine technological advancement. Better Gov Project: Replacing AutoCAD and SolidWorks with FreeCAD — A National Open-Source Engineering Initiative.
