Melinda – Week Three

This week has been the week that I have enjoyed the most. I have especially enjoyed focusing on completing the academic research and the poster. This has allowed me to learn more about the role of engineers and physicists in situations, such as natural disaster response, I initially would not associate them with. We visited Macaw and Kromek which were to very different companies and saw how Macaw, a traditional oil and gas company, was branching out and using new technologies to provide new technologies to their customers. Using drones is something that I’d never expect a professional company to do but the applications and uses are incredible. It shows how much the engineering industry is evolving and how there are so many different opportunities available with the roles being increasingly diverse and interesting.
