Work Experience with UCL Mechanical Engineering
In July, Alex B took part in a week-long work experience placement with the UCL Mechanical Engineering Department on their Professional Services pathway. Alex gained insight into professional services administration and academic roles within a university department.
He learnt about the research of PhD students and visited a range of specialist laboratories: an Engine Lab, Biomaterials Lab, Fluid Lab – where he observed a tank test and the Electric Propulsion Lab. In a practical activity with the IT team, he dismantled and reassembled a laptop, analysing its internal components.
The week concluded with students sharing their experience with their peers and being presented with a certificate.
