Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role is to help out with projects ongoing in the department; from mechanical to controls to vision systems and excel documents. The projects will involve tools/robots on the assembly line and making them more efficient.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes. For some of my projects I was the project lead, meaning that I got to take control of the situations and decide on what paths to take. I was also put in charge of changing/updating all the department documents containing important information
