The Role
It was an unforgettable year working at an interesting project, in the automotive industry!
I remember from my first day I wasn't sure if I could really help all these experienced engineers, so I asked them if there is some work for me. They replied to me that there are lots of tasks, and that was absolutely true.
There was quite a lot of workload. However, there is no pressure applied to you so you feel and work relaxed which balances things out. Still much less than University's workload and deadline pressure.
I cannot say that I was running the show, but I had more responsibility than what I expected.
After my placement I started understanding electronics and how things work.
