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

    • Took part on mostly project based projects which allowed for continual progress, occasional slows due to the necessity of senior sign off.

    • A fair amount, during each project I worked through, I had a substantial amount of individual work and personal correspondence with external companies.

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

    • Valuable knowledge gained within a variety of manufacturing departments, I now have a much more informed view of the sector.
