Last week I was able to attend the JK Lecture presented by AusIMM. It was really good to have such a successful female speaker. The speaker was Simone Wetzlar from Thiess, and I thought she was really interesting, certainly one of the better speakers that I have heard. It was also good to mix with people from the industry, with people attending from a range of different companies and professions. Overall, it was a really good night.
The uni is starting to hit hard now, so we are getting stuck into the assessment. Although it's a lot more work this semester, I'm really enjoying the 'real' projects we are working on. One subject we are actually designing a housing development to be built in Malanda. The client decided to use QUT for 'fresh' ideas, so I hope we can deliver!
About Me
- andy
- I'm like any other uni student. I like clubbing, parties with friends and surfing if I can get a chance. I grew up in Townsville and miss my great friends there, the strand and maggie, but I still get time to have fun in brissie. I'm studying Civil and Construction Engineering at QUT, and I'm finding it a lot more interesting than most people would think. I'm also doing a mining minor at UQ at the same time so that I can work in the mining industry. I hope to work on mine sites once I graduate, because I love the friendliness in small towns, and it's always more fun to brag about being involved in massive projects. Drop me an email at andrea.dale@connect.qut.edu.au if you want to know more :)
