  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • due to being at college full time my days differ as i do one subject for the whole day. This consists of mechanical maintenance, machining and building and testing circuits. all these lessons are full the full day so you can get a lot more done during that time. the project im currently working on for CAD is designing and making a watch vice.

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • as i have not done much engineering previously every day i learn new things and gain knowledge i can use when i go into company. being able to learn the fundamentals of mechanical measurement and CAD means that when going into the workplace i feel like I will be more confident on doing tasks.
