    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    4/5

    4/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • On occasions I would have liked to have had more than one project to work on so I could get more variety. Overall I had a good work load, always with something to do and never too stressed.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was entirely responsible for delivering my project

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I didn't really learn any engineering skills which will translate directly into my degree but my soft skills such as time management, taking responsibility, how to compose myself in a work environment etc. were developed hugely and will definitely come in handy. Overall it was a really useful insight.

    4/5
