Strong reputation in industry

'QUT has a strong reputation within industry. I have had several mentors and colleagues, both overseas and locally, who are graduates of QUT. This is a testament to the knowledge and experiences gained throughout their time here. It was reassuring to see that lecturers and tutors are actively engaged with industry. It always helps when they can present or explain case studies based on their individual experiences, bringing a wealth of experience and adding a unique dimension during discussions.'

Realising my career goals

'The work integrated learning we undertake as part of the course and my project and supervisors, have helped me realise what I want out of my career because they introduced me to new aspects of the civil engineering field that I was yet to explore. I work as a student assistant at an engineering company in Brisbane in the civil structures department, where I undertake work for civil projects, for example carrying out calculations on retaining walls or noise barrier walls. The most valuable experience for me is understanding the professional work culture in Australia, which I really enjoy.'
