The benefits of Lboro UAV

UAV is by far the (single) place I have learnt and applied the most engineering knowledge, from design to manufacturing, data analysis, making crucial decisions and coordinating the entire team to deliver a competition aircraft in time. Now working at Rolls-Royce, I have found that I can make informed decisions quickly and work within a team seamlessly, having understood how a real engineering project actually works (they never go to plan!)

I have made many new great friends from UAV, the amount of time you are together is a real bonding experience. UAV certainly has made me more disciplined and organised, and allowed me to directly apply what I have learnt in modules to grasp better understanding.

Being part of the Team was definitely useful in getting a placement. I found it natural and easy speaking about my experiences and hardships from UAV during the interview/application process, I had a UAV specific scenario that was directly applicable for every question. Feedback from the interview stated that talking about my UAV experiences was a strong point.
