Overview
Software Engineer roles ranged from the full development process. From planning, implementation / development, testing and certification. This changed depending on the progress of the project you are assigned to. My placement consisted mostly of unit development and testing / certification
Skills
Massively improved on my general software development, especially in "C". As well as other general skills like Version Control and testing
