Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
During my time with the company, our team worked on several projects across the country, I worked closely with my team to produce drawings and a report for each. We generally worked remotely and would communicate regularly over teams.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was only given responsibility over relatively minor tasks
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I have learned to use MicroStation and ProjectWise, both of which are industry standard software. I had no familiarity with either before the internship and have since become competent at producing CAD drawings in MicroStation. I have also developed soft skills such as communicating with a team, managing my time across different tasks and critical thinking. I am now familiar with engineering work flows and processes.
