Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Structural Engineers are part of the design process of new car components. The role involves using FEA to optimise parts, making them as light as possible. This is a vital to allow the car to be competitive on track.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
From the second week of my placement, I was given car components to work on. This meant that I was given a huge amount of responsibility, being responsible for making sure the components were structurally sound. However, I was always given sufficient help when required.
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 learnt a vast number of new skills, as well as developing existing ones. I have learnt how to use FEA software, as well as how to calculate the stresses and strains in a component by hand. Working closely with Design Engineers has also helped me to develop my social and teamwork skills.
