Building advanced skills for industry

My practical skills were honed using cutting-edge engineering software. Conducting design experiments in a computer lab equipped with a supercomputer allowed me to finalise simulations, an experience invaluable for my future in engineering. 

My goal is a maintenance engineering position in a manufacturing environment, and USW's curriculum has prepared me well. Reviewing my time here, I've appreciated the support services, including the fantastic library and its staff. My advice? Be ready to unlearn and relearn—you will leave USW with a whole new perspective on your chosen field.
