    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was treated just like any other full-time employee, which translates to a lot of responsibility and dealing with highly confidential information necessary to do the work.

    5/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I was given a lot of valuable trainings such as protocol analyser course, python programming, weekly tech updates. I've also learned about other fields of business through my peers, one example could be EMC testing procedure. Due to the nature of my position (OEM support) I have gained broad experience and knowledge in various fields of engineering.
