Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
During my internship, I had one project that I was tasked to complete so the majority of my day was dedicated to that. However, there would also be meetings I could join to learn about the different desks/ wider company.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
My internship was entirely project based, but it is up to your to take responsibility for how to manage your time, any additional features you would like to add to the project and ensuring you reach out to the end-users of your product to understand how they will be using it.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
Yes, my project was very focused in coding specifically in MATLAB and Python so there were a lot of new features that I had to learn to use for example Graphical User Interfaces. We also needed to give a presentation to the executive committee at the end of the internship, so my communication and presentation skills were also enhanced.
