In 2020, the coronavirus lockdown meant that student internship placement were not possible. In collaboration with Vattenfall, ScottishPower Renewables, James Fisher Marine Service, EEEGR and CREST, The Ogden Trust ran an Offshore Wind Research Project for the 2020 Coastal Energy programme.
To summarise my placement, I would say that it was an invaluable experience being placed into a working engineering company like Siemens. I gained a real appreciation for all the work, calculation and rigorous testing that not only goes into products made by Siemens, but also carried out by other professional engineering companies too, and would recommend the four weeks to anybody considering a career in engineering.
