Extended work placement student Abigail Muller - Student Case Study




Abigail Muller – ATI, UniS

Details about me: I attend Rosebery sixth form and I am currently studying maths, further maths, physics and geography at A Level. When I finish school, I hope to study Maths at university.

Why I applied for a placement: 
I applied for a placement to gain experience working in a field of research.

Brief Description of the placement and research involved: I was tasked with producing a series of learning resources for Undergraduate Electrical and Electronic Engineering modules. I created a series of informative 'How to' videos on a range of skills taught in first year lab sessions including: how to solder, how to use a digital multimeter and how to use a cathode ray oscilloscope. To produce the videos, I had to research the topic, write the script, film and record audio and edit. 


How I benefited from the experience: I experienced the day to day life of a researcher, learnt how to produce and edit videos and saw a lot of interesting technology in use such as a 3D printer.
