Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

As an engineering intern working in performance modelling, I was tasked with constructing a modelling tool for internal use by engineers within the company. My role consisted primarily of coding and analysis, with meetings to discuss the tools direction, and intended use.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

I was given a high degree of independence in my role, which came with the responsibility of creating a functional and accurate tool that would be used by many.
