A Professional Practice app

A large proportion of students in Engineering undertake a placement in industry as part of their learning, and in doing so are expected to develop their skills for professional practice. A mobile app that can provide information in preparation for placement and which can subsequently support the students in placement could be beneficial to a large number of students. It would also support the employability agenda by preparing graduates for the workplace using material in a form that is familiar to young people.
