Christie Kearney ECU Computer Systems Engineering student and Engineering Excellence Scholarship recipient

“One of my most significant achievements has been receiving the Engineering Excellence Scholarship.” I chose to study engineering because of my passion for applying physics, as well as for the rewarding feeling of solving real world problems. I was influenced a lot by my peers, teachers and parents in Years 9 and 10 to begin on my mathematics and physics pathway. They helped convince me that engineering would be a rewarding career.

6 WORLD ready Graduates

Tamzin Walker ECU Mechatronics Engineering/Computer Science graduate Control Systems Engineer, BHP

“Getting a job at the forefront of the mining industry has been one of my greatest achievements.” In high school, creating something and having it implemented in the real world interested me. So I chose to study Engineering at ECU, especially for the heavy practical aspect of the degree. After graduating, I joined the BHP graduate program and this has helped me find my current role as a Control Systems Engineer – working with autonomous robots! ECU gave me the skills to learn about myself and my capabilities when challenged with new concepts and situations.

Matthew Foster ECU Mechanical Engineering graduate Platform Systems Engineer, Department of Defence

“ECU is a fantastic uni and has a lot to offer – it was one of my best decisions.” During my studies, ECU had plenty of industry engagement through careers fairs, workshops and presentations. So when it came time to apply for graduate positions I knew I was ready as I had networked with professionals from those companies and understood what they were seeking. When I was going through job interviews I was able to link back to that and talk about a tangible product and the real engineering I had done. One thing my degree did really well was balance the technical elements of engineering with the project management elements. In the workplace, you need both and it’s an essential part of what I do day-to-day.

Jordan Butler ECU Civil Engineering graduate Structural/Maritime Engineer, Wallbridge Gilbert Aztec (WGA)

“If you want a well‑rounded and practical experience, definitely study Engineering at ECU.” My advice to students would be to study to get a job, not to get a degree. Maximise your opportunities to get experience that will get you a career. So for me, that was participating in engineering societies, going overseas, joining the Vice‑Chancellor’s forum and so forth. All of these gave me interpersonal skills and international experience. I was also named the WA Young Professional Engineer of the Year 2018 at the Engineers Australia WA Engineering Excellence Awards. If you want a well‑rounded and practical experience, definitely study Engineering at ECU.

Megan Clayton ECU Chemical Engineering student

“I was offered a graduate position!” My greatest achievement would definitely be receiving a job offer from BP Kwinana Refinery and a job at Woodside Energy for when I graduate, when I was only in the third year of my degree. I also completed a 12-week paid work placement at Woodside in Perth’s CBD and loved it. I was working in reservoir management and was solely completing a study project to reduce water development in oil reservoirs for current working oil wells on Australia’s North West Shelf. At ECU, I have learned how to research and resolve issues independently, as well as plan and manage my time. Those are great skills that I can apply to the workforce.

Ryan Bradley ECU Mechatronics Engineering student

“I wasn’t aware of how versatile studying engineering is.” Within the first year, all engineering disciplines study the same units, which was perfect for me as I was still unsure what discipline I wanted to study. I chose to study mechatronics engineering as I’ve always been interested in robotics. ECU engineering courses are constantly adapting to industry changes, meaning that graduates are more work-ready when entering their respective careers. There is no better time to choose mechatronics as a career pathway; it’s at the forefront of engineering innovation and future job creation.

Bruna Rocha ECU Postgraduate Engineering Science graduate Structural Engineer, AECOM

“My ECU degree helped me to understand the industry, make the right connections, and work in the area that I’m really passionate about.” The best skills that I gained during my studies at ECU were persistence and the ability to solve problems. These skills are helpful all the time in my current workplace as we’re often faced with unexpected issues that come up during construction. I’m currently the Chair of the Young Engineers Australia WA Committee. It has allowed me to meet so many inspiring engineers who have done some amazing work. My best advice is not to be afraid to ask for what you want or need. If you are genuine, passionate and share your goals with others, they will try to help you. Just don’t forget to do the same for them.

LUKE MCCONVILLE ECU Aviation graduate

“I chose this degree as it’s the only one of its kind in WA.” For as long as I can remember, I have always set my sights on becoming a commercial airline pilot. Rather than pursue my licence directly after high school, I looked into the Bachelor of Aviation course at ECU with much interest, given it opened up other potential career avenues in the industry. My study experience at ECU was nothing shy of fantastic. The lecturers’ in-depth understanding of contemporary practices and future trends in the industry, as well as their combined working experience in supporting you to achieve personal excellence was both welcoming and unrivalled. The breadth of understanding and attention to detail of the course lecturers in delivering the concepts allowed me to develop a deeper appreciation of the reasons certain systems, processes, frameworks and ideas exist in the industry. It has allowed me to transfer and apply this knowledge into the workforce, particularly as I pursue an air transport pilot licence.
