I had the opportunity to undertake two summer internships. The first was at Rolls Royce Plc., where I worked as a development engineer; the second at L3Harris Commercial Aviation as a software engineer. The two experiences enabled me to not only apply what I’d learnt at university in an industrial setting, but they also showed the broad spectrum of the field of aeronautical engineering and that the degree really is just the foundation.
In the future, I would like to work towards chartership, focusing on the development of my technical abilities in an industrial setting. My Loughborough degree has most definitely helped me to lay a good broad-based foundation towards achieving my career ambition.
My greatest achievement was the submission of my final year and group design project reports. There were challenging times; however, the knowledge and skills gained offered me a great fulfilment and is one that I’m proud of.
My advice for anyone thinking about studying this course: Go for it! It is definitely a challenge but one that brings so much satisfaction, when you overcome those challenges and get to the end of the course.
