    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • I was usually a good level of busy, although it depended on how many jobs were being worked on at once. If it was a busy week then the one-on-one time with the other engineers was reduced a bit, but that was out of everyone's control so only a minor point.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was given a lot of responsibility with my own tasks as part of a job or project.

    4/5

    • I learned a lot in terms of software use and the technical aspects of being an engineer, as well as improving my personal skills such as communication within a team.

    5/5
