Although girls are still a minority in this field, that shouldn’t stop anyone with the inclination and the right attitude from applying. To the lecturers’ credit, they do not discriminate and always pick students for projects and class leaders based on their abilities.
I want to show that the girls can be just as good, if not better than the guys. Though unable to be a pilot, I still wanted to work with aeroplanes. This programme allows me to do so and carve a lucrative career in the aviation field. Everyone in my estate is very proud of me for trying to become an aeroplanes maintenance engineer.
I loved getting my hands dirty as I have been helping out my dad in his workshop. I am always curious to know how things work and the function of each button, lever, plug, rod, nut and bolt. The close links that Nilai University has with major aviation players was also a factor in me choosing to come here. It is vital that students get a chance to learn in real working environments, and I know that promising students get retained. So I intend to seize the opportunity!
