Your Impressions
I really enjoyed the placement especially working as part of the program team I not only was given the opportunity to understand the engineering processes within new projects but I also gained a understanding into the business aspect of the automotive industry. I learnt a lot of my manager from his experience in the industry and working on past projects as well as insight into new technologies that can be used for the future.
Yes
This is a very useful placement where you will gain a lot of knowledge and skills into industry leading technologies and softwares, I would advise keeping a logbook to track different projects.
