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

    • Fully satisfied from the opportunity to be involved in various stages of design development, as well as had great resources and references on how the professional engineering outputs were like. Nevertheless, got to know how the cross discipline collaboration took place in terms of outputs,docs,files software and tools.. of course this experience made me more aware how to get the most from the university when i go back for the final year.
