Work Placement 4 Day 3

On the 2/2/17 I did my work experience in

CPS in Tuam. I started work at 9.15 in the
morning and finished at 3.00 in the
afternoon. When I arrived I was brought
upstairs to the computer design room where
I was introduced to the workers up there. I
got to sit with one of them at their desk for
the day to see what their working day
consisted of. His name was Francis Moggan.
He explained to me what they do as design
engineers at CPS. They work on Solid Works
like we did in DCG. I found it really
interesting to see this being used in the
workplace. He told me about the subjects he
did for Leaving Cert and about how he spent
five years in college training to be a design
engineer. He also showed me the projects
he was working on at the moment. One of
them involved solving a problem to do with
a machine that cleans stints in Medtronic.
I learned that there is more to CPS then just
making things. I learned that Solids Works is
very important as it is used by design
engineers and I also learned that this is a
problem solving job.
