The course provides a broad range of practical modules that is can be applicable for range of jobs within industry. An example of this is the ‘data analysis’ module, which involves teaching us to analyse data using statistical tests through Microsoft Excel and Matlab. I found learning the software to be very useful as this is expected within industry. The simulation modules and the virtual plant on campus allow us to have a ‘physical’ insight of a plant. As a Loughborough student working on my Professional Development Project (PDP), I found that the departments access to useful research papers really aided my research.
