Student profiles

Rebecca Kendall
Bachelor of Engineering - Civil major
(Engineering Scholars Program)
Geelong Waurn Ponds Campus

‘I like that the first year of engineering is broad so you get to do all sorts of engineering. With civil engineering I like the solution focus. I would like to be able to drive down the road and say “I built that”. I was offered a place in Deakin’s Engineering Scholars Program and I also received an IGNITED*
scholarship. The opportunity to have an industry mentor has been very valuable... this helps me to keep motivated. Organised placements at the City of Greater Geelong and City West Water have given me invaluable knowledge.’
