Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My main role includes helping my team write requirements for the C2 system. I have used rhapsody to model interfaces. I am writing a document on the interfaces I am expected to be logged, this has been more of a personal research task. At the start of my placement I was involved in use case writing and activity and sequence diagram modelling.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes at start i was helping others with there projects but midway through my placement I was given ownership of my own task and given useful contacts to help with the task.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
