My Melbourne experience

The talent and ingenuity of Melbourne School of Engineering's final year masters students was on full display on Thursday 24 October at the School's annual Endeavour Exhibition.

Master of Engineering (Electrical) students Yaameen, Andrea and Tom identified an opportunity to use cutting-edge guidance and navigation technology to assist the visually impaired.

It’s always wonderful to have the opportunity get out of the classroom and learn through doing, as a group of Melbourne School of Engineering students recently discovered through an intensive subject.

Master of Engineering (Mechanical) students Dakshinee, Jack and Jess are passionate about renewable energy.

"I loved seeing how transferable my engineering skills were."

For Randula Dias, studying the Master of Engineering (Mechanical) at Melbourne has meant gaining “hands-on” experience in his field.

Early this month over 750 guests converged at the Palladium for the Melbourne Entrepreneurship Gala. The evening is a celebration of entrepreneurship and has become the largest event of its kind in Australia.

Master of Engineering (Chemical with Business) student Arthur Masion was part of the team that won the 2018 Case Study Competition, after successfully pitching their solution to a real-life challenge posed by ExxonMobil. Arthur spoke to MSE about the experience and how it set him on a path to a graduate position with the company.

In Australia, small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) employ around 4.8 million workers and generate an approximate 57% of Australia’s GDP.

As a Master of Engineering (Chemical) student, Dylan Potgieter took every opportunity to gain industry insight. In April 2019, he joined Carlton & United Breweries (CUB) as a Supply Management Trainee.

This year a team of six University of Melbourne students won the Emory Global Health Case Competition (GHCC) in Atlanta, for the first time since the University began competing in 2014. For civil engineering student Tom Strawhorn, the experience affirmed how his skills in problem-solving can be applied beyond the field of engineering.

It has always been a goal of mine to work overseas, so when I saw an advertisement for an engineering internship in Paris I jumped at the opportunity.
