      Hi all,

      I always liked airplanes, since I was about 3-4 years old. My parents used to take me to the airport to watch airplanes takeoff and land. Because of this, I wanted to become a pilot.

      A bit later in life, I started to enjoy physics, maths and science quite a lot in school, and I was very curious about machines and how do they work.

      I ended up studying aerospace engineering because it was the best way to combine airplanes with math, physics and science, and it was probably the best decision I’ve made in my life, so far.

      I liked solving problems. As an engineer you get to solve all sorts of problems and help the world be a little bit better.

      Hi all,

      I always had a keen interest in solving maths problems and when i started learning electronics i realised that i loved that too as i got to design, create and build things which can help society.

      do you like to know how things work, why they work and have a desire to solve problems, design or build things then you are on your way to being an engineering.

      if so then go for it!!

      Sheryl
