"When I was awarded an Engineering Excellence Scholarship, it was an offer I couldn't turn down"
Ben GatelyECU Mechanical Engineering student and Engineering Excellence Scholarship recipient ECU was one of the few universities I was considering applying for, and when I was awarded an Engineering Excellence Scholarship, it was an offer I couldn't turn down. As for the engineering course, I have always been good at maths and problem-solving and the engineering field seemed perfect for me.
I've spent my first year at the Bunbury Campus. This has been an enjoyable experience and the smaller classes meant it was really personalised. I had access to an abundance of help and support, as well as making friendships with other students and my lecturers. This first year has given me a broad overview of the engineering field and helped me decide to specialise in mechanical engineering. I've also developed a lot of teamwork skills that I believe will help me in both my studies and just life in general.

"Landing a full-time job before I'd even graduated makes me very proud"
Matthew PutlandBachelor of Information Technology graduate I learned the practical skills I needed in class and developed them further with the Work Integrated Learning program.
Before completing the program I had developed a new passion in accessibility and was offered a full-time position as a Digital Accessibility Analyst.
I owe my knowledge to ECU's lecturers – their passion made their courses interesting and therefore made you want to learn.
