The Role
Very exciting work, rewarding to have worked on a couple of projects that met a real business need.
5/5
Colleagues were very supportive and provided necessary training at the start of the internship. I was given useful and constructive feedback throughout the process. My colleagues also clearly appreciated the boost in productivity that the three interns created by doubling the team size!

Exceptionally kind mentor who would often take time off his own tasks to help me out

Computing skills not directly relevant to Mech. Eng., but the knowledge I picked up about machining will be invaluable in certain modules.
