Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, the team meeting would rely on me to gather the data from the previous day and present to team. The projects given to me helped drive the research for R&D and innovation within the factory. The digitalization projects helped reduce strain of factory resources. Having to deliver projects which creates an impact on the operations of the factory if not delivered correctly.
