My career
I completed a placement as a guidance, control and navigation engineer with MBDA UK who develop missile systems. This helped me further develop many of my skills including programming, presenting and time management. I also went into local schools and taught them about engineering before holding a competition where students had to build handheld gliders. This placement then led to me being offered a graduate role once I completed my degree.
In the future, I hope to either work in the space industry designing new cutting-edge technology or be part of the air accident investigation to ensure avoidable accidents in aviation don't happen again. Either career path will be aided by my degree as we are taught about a wide range of engineering principles and able to tailor the degree in whichever direction we choose through optional modules and final year projects.
