Since re-joining Caterpillar after completing my MSc I have been working as a Data Scientist within the engineering department. The MSc has developed the skill set needed for this role.

Two modules that were particularly helpful were Mathematical Modelling 1 & 2 which saw students put into teams to apply the techniques learned in other modules to tackle loosely defined problems. At the end of these modules we had to present our methods and findings which is typical for tasks in industry and one I have always found difficult. The feedback from the lectures during these modules has allowed me to develop my presentation skills.
