I applied for the Summer Research Program in the hope of acquiring the necessary techniques to conduct research individually and scientifically for my Final Year project. I believe the experience was invaluable.

I enjoyed the project because it was something completely different from what I had learned in lectures or from doing assignments or exams. There was no predetermined answer and I had to discover the correct answer for myself, which I found both challenging and fun.

I love the fact that engineering transforms peoples lives, sometimes in very inconspicuous ways. Being capable of helping people and making positive changes is what attracted me to engineering.
