 So my name is Molly Thomas and I'm graduating with the Bachelor of Engineering and Bachelor of Science. So I chose to study at ANU because I lived in Canberra and my family was here so it meant that I could stay living at home. I'd also heard great things about it and had visited ANU while I was at school. I knew how beautiful the grounds were and also the big emphasis I had on research which was something I was really interested in. When I was in Year 12 I went to the Get Set program which is a program run by the College of Engineering and Computer Science to encourage girls in high school to get involved in engineering after school. Here I was able to talk to the current engineering students about what engineering was really about. So the Bachelor of Engineering at ANU is unique in that it does systems engineering. This was something which was attractive to me when I was in high school because first of all it meant that I didn't have to choose which major I wanted to do coming in. It meant that I could have a little bit of a taste test of all the different types of engineering and choose when I really knew which one I enjoyed. Throughout all my studies whether it be in group projects or just completing assignments I've always felt like there's been a great support network. Through this I've made great friendships which I've then been able to be social with outside of my studies. So my third year of study I was offered the Defence Science and Technology Group Scholarship for Females in Engineering. This meant that I could reduce my part-time work a little bit and meant that I had a little bit more time to get involved and do things like be a part of the Engineering Students Association. There's lots of things that you can get involved in and the more that you get involved in the more you're going to get back. Next year I will be studying a two-year graduate program as a mechanical engineer and I'm really excited about the opportunities which this will present for my future career.
