Undergraduate general engineering student stories from the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering.

It made sense for me to undertake a broad-based engineering course to gain as much exposure to multiple fields of engineering

I wanted to develop sensibilities for the technical requirements of each field while creatively drawing from each.

I chose to specialise in Materials engineering, as this was one of the two routes into manufacturing engineering (the other being Mech Eng). Manufacturing engineering has always interested me greatly, as it is pretty general and interdisciplinary by nature, and potentially allows me to dive into sustainable materials and sustainable manufacturing, and sustainability is a particular area of passion for me.

My year in industry at Texecom allowed me to make a real impact, solving real life problems straight away

Ben was encouraged to make his contribution to the company and in turn was able to develop his technical skills and soft skills such as cross team collaboration.
