Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?

Many soft-skills were developed - especially team work and cooperation due to the friendly and helpful environment. Working with different departments allow new skills to be learnt that aren't directly linked to engineering but will help with personal development. Also advanced knowledge on different programs such as SolidWorks and SAP (ERP).
