Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
On a day to day I personally look into the viability of weapon systems and the future of those systems.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Not really it seems that I do alot of the basic tasks for others to build off of because I do not have the industry knowledge. This could also be because alot of the work that is done is either presented to or given to the stakeholders.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
