Undergraduate engineer Review

Role involves working on rotations in various dyson RDD teams, doing a range of things from CAD to rig build to coding to electronics design depending on what placement you're on

Lots of new skills learned, I'm now a better coder, a better mechanical designer and and better at team working. We use industry standard everything so all the skills you learn are super transferrable

The uni side of things can get very boring, and also very stressful depending on deadlines etc, work is generally pretty good and the lifestyle and perks are great compared to uni

Generally pretty good, though occasionally we will hear about plan changes or timetable changes at reasonably short notice

As much as we need, there's really really good student support in place that's really accessible and friendly, plus all of the workplace teams are very approachable to ask for help at work if you need it

Very good, we have 2 days a week dedicated to lectures/uni study where lecturers from warwick come in to do lectures and seminars. Dyson also has it's own academic support staff if you need extra support

Honestly not super well, the uni side of the course is very theoretical and hasn't had much application at work yet, generally we learn the skills on the job we need for work.

Loads, quite a few institute organised social, sporty and other events, plus dyson have lots of clubs and events on if that's not enough for you

Yes

It's a free degree and you get a salary, generally pretty rewarding even if stressful at times

Be yourself at the assessment days, they're just as much after what kind of person you are as well specific engineering knowledge. Be ready to figuratively jump in at the deep end when you start, it's a bit daunting going from sixth form to working on live engineering projects
