I have also been a Wolfson School Action Rep, planning volunteering projects such as walking sheltered dogs, helping local scouts gain their electronics badges and promoting STEM subjects within the local community. In my final year, I will be focusing on working to support CodeLab Loughborough, a new campus-wide coding community that runs weekly coding workshops for interested students.
As a Product Design Engineering student, you’ll face a lot of challenges including how to work with others who, perhaps, have different working styles or pace when you are undertaking projects. I would say learning how to work and communicate effectively with your team was a whole new challenge for me, aside from the typical academic challenges. After university, I am hoping to pursue a role in project management. Then, I am thinking about doing a master's in the USA. Overall, I believe my time at Loughborough has helped me build an awareness of all the minor considerations that are integrated within product design, project management and enterprise.
As cliché as it may sound, my advice is to just do it. Most importantly, take the first step, as only you will know whether a career in Engineering is really for you.
