Yes. I think almost all engineers work in teams. I’m lucky that I have lots of great people to work with, including my PhD students and other researchers as well as people in industry. Engineering also allows you to work with lots of other professions, like surgeons, physiotherapists and even architects.
As you go through your career you meet and work with more and more people. It’s great working as part of team and you can produce so much more working together than you ever could individually.

As a PhD student you have at least one supervisor who helps advise you on what to do and interpreting be your results etc. so they are a massive help! Then there are other people who work in the same labs who can teach you how to do things and ask questions if you get stuck. But sometimes there isn’t someone around so you have to figure it out on your own. We also collaborate with other research groups across the world. So you get to meet and work with lots of amazing people!

It’s about technology work, the team’s are multi disciplined. So the rehabilitation specialist will assess patients on their language ans communications skills. The audiologists assess the extent of the hearing loss. The nurses check the patients are fit for surgery. Surgeon’s put the implants into the patient, I ‘ll check the implant they put in is in the correct position and working correctly. After the patient has recovered myself and my audiological colleagues will turn the implant on. Progress with hearing will continue to be assessed and monitored by the rehabilitation specialist.
No person can perform all these tasks and it about performing your bit and handing the patient over to the next specialty
