“I was always good at dismantling things, putting them back together and figuring out why they work. It never occurred to me to think about a career in engineering, but I am really enjoying the course and I can’t believe I never thought to do this the first time round. The course covers subjects such as thermal fluids, gas flows, engineering principles and metals. I’ve always been fascinated by cars and plan to further my studies at uni in motorsport design engineering.”
