Destination STEM Research Placement
Destination STEM placement to carry out projects on Optical Wireless Communications: The placement provided a unique opportunity to explore the field of electronics and communication technologies via a number of practical projects. A laboratory induction followed by training on basic equipment was provided along with material and guidance on the basic concepts of optical wireless communications - utilising light as a medium for transmitting voice and data communications. The projects enabled both to demonstrate their newfound knowledge and improved their skills in circuit design, assembly, and troubleshooting - by bridging the knowledge gap between theory and practice.
