Civil Engineering
"My greatest challenge so far has been the Engineers Without Borders (EWB) challenge. As a team, we were asked by EWB Australia to design a water supply system for a remote Aboriginal group. The teamwork element was especially useful as it forced me to develop ideas in a group and improve my communication skills. ECU is a great place to study and make friends. There are many international students so I am learning a lot about different cultures too."
