  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • i have developed many new skills in the sense of engineering, I have become familiar with reading drawings and filling in spreadsheets with information that will help engineers on many other projects. I have also developed better communication skills and have matured well from being around older people and i am more confident meeting new people.
