Hi, my name is Scott Wirdley and I'm the Director of Learning and Teaching in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering here at Monash. To give you a better idea of where your mechanical engineering degree could take you, we asked some of our alumni working around the world to send us a short video explaining what they're doing for work and where they're working currently. This is what they had to say. Hi, I'm Phil, I graduated Monash in 2009. I'm working in the construction industry as a mechanical project engineer. I'm currently building gas compression facilities for Colseam Gas exports in Queensland. Hi, my name is Chris. I graduated Monash University with a mechanical engineering degree in 2013. I'm currently working as a communications engineer for the Marosh R.F.1 team. It involves maintaining and operating the communication system which involves the radio and intercom system that the engineers and drivers both use. My average week involves arriving at a track on a Tuesday setting up the system and then maintaining it for Friday Saturday Sunday and then packing up on the Sunday evening to buy home Monday. I currently live in Germany though I enjoy frequent trips back to Australia. I mean Italy at the moment will be here for another four days before we move on to Singapore in two weeks time. Hi, my name is David and I graduated from a mechanical engineering and science double degree in 2013. I just started working in the strength and dynamics group at Scania in Sweden. As part of my job, I conduct simulations to ensure the ongoing functionality of chassis components, even when exposed to the harshest of driving conditions. At this site alone, there are 11,000 employees that's including both research and development and manufacturing. So it's a pretty exciting place to be. Good luck for your choice of engineering stream. You never know where it might take you. Hi guys, my name is Amashi and I graduated from Warnash in 2011. I'm currently a field engineer in the oil and gas industry and I work on oil rigs on shore and off shore all across Australia. Thanks to my job last year itself, I have traveled to various countries including Russia, New Zealand, UAE and Malaysia and I've met people from all around the world. Hi, my name is Rick, graduated from Warnash University in 2010. I'm now working for Rolls-Race living in Berlin, Germany. We build gas turbine engines for aircraft such as Boeing, Airbus, Bombardier and Gulf Stream. I'm currently working on the Gulf Stream G650 jet engine and in my current role I'm looking after all design changes in engineering budget on the inlet, Nassau, thrushed traversor and oil and fuel systems. Working overseas and living overseas is an excellent opportunity. I'd absolutely recommend to anybody who gets the opportunity. Hi, my name is Andrew and I graduated from Warnash at the end of 2008. I'm currently working as a project engineer based in Port Headland and I've been up here for the past couple of years. We've been building materials handling systems for oil and all companies and to give you some idea of the numbers, they typically load between 12,000 to 14,000 tonnes per hour which enables them to load a 200,000 ton vessel in just under a day. Now it's not a bad day's work, is it? Hi, my name is Alistair. I graduated in Monation 2004 and I'm working as a race car engineer for the whole racing team in the vehicle car championship series. It's been more working well after designing and developing race car components than testing them out at race tracks around Australia and the world. To be honest, it's pretty much a good voice during job. I've been lucky enough to win three methods, one-downs as part of the team. I've traveled to very exotic locations around the world, the Middle East, China, the USA, just racing cars. I'm a Catech engineering degree, it's been absolutely critical in achieving this and to have the awesome job that I have. Hi, I'm Catech. And I am Sam. Hey, I'm James. Hi, I'm Lincoln. We graduated mechanical engineering at 1-10 years of 2010 and 2013. We're all design engineers at SuperCAT, where we develop high-doll-w vehicles as a Benz-Porce. We have officers in Australia and the UK. Hi, my name is James. I graduated in 2012. I currently work as a structural design engineer in the aerospace industry, based in Melbourne and I've recently lived in the United States where I've designed aircraft wing components. Hi, my name is Ashahn. I graduated from Monash in 2008. Since then, I've worked primarily in product design. I currently work as a mechanical engineer for a global product development consultancy, designing biomedical instruments for the in vitro diagnostic sector. Hi, my name's Andrew. I graduated from the mechanical engineering in 2011. I've worked in the automotive manufacturing and the railway industry. Currently, I'm working here at Monash University in the Institute of Railway Technology. There's a data acquisition specialist. I spend a lot of time up in Karatha playing with giant trains and a lot of time ready to film the consulting work for industry. Hi, my name's Ashahn. My name's Ashahn. I graduated in mechanical engineering in 2004. Since then, I've been designing car parts for a major R&N. I've lived in Japan for a year. I've lived in Annaheim, Michigan for a year. I've lived in Japanese. I've traveled through Asia, through South America, South Africa, all for work. And I've seen the way people live in different parts of the world and learn a lot about other cultures that I would never have thought possible to start on that degree. Hi, my name is Brad. I graduated in 2009. I work as a technical engineer in Truganina, West of Melbourne. As a mechanical engineer, I test our products to ensure they meet the Australian conditions and when required, we'll design and source new components to ensure they do not overheat. I'm Scott. I graduated Monash in 2007. I started my career working in the automotive industry as an economics engineer. More recently, I've lived back to Monash engineering, consulting to the rail industry, specialising in vehicle dynamics and simulation. My name is Jared Hammond. I was part of the Monash Formula RSE team from 2002 until 2005. After I graduated, I spent three years at Boeing and Fisherman's Bend, working on the 787 Dreamliner and on some defence projects. Then went to France for a year, studied a master's degree, and then went to England for two years, worked on the Mon programme for Estimation Racing on LNP1 and GT cars. And for the last 12 months, I've been back in Australia working on an electric vehicle and race car project. Hi, I'm Leighton Adams. I graduated from Monash in 2011 and I'm working on engineering and I now work for the Royal Australian Navy as an assistant marine engineer, so I'm on board HMAS-AZR. As part of my role, I work with the refrigeration system for power generation and propulsion system and pretty much any system on the ship aside from weapons. I've also been a lot of good opportunities to travel. Last year I went to Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, Perth, where I live again. I live in Sydney, though next year I've been post-Caneloid. I know you're all about to make a big choice about what's dream engineering you're going to go into next year. I highly recommend mechanical engineering. I still really enjoy my time. Thank you. Hopefully those short videos have shown you some of the different fields you can work in as a mechanical engineer. All the best with your decision and we hope to see you next year.
