FROM GHAnA Masters of Engineering Management

Abigail Paulina Odea kissi is from Anum-Asamankese in the Eastern Region of Ghana, West Africa and is currently enrolled in the Master of Engineering Management. Abigail studied for her Civil Engineering degree at kwame nkrumah University of Technology (knUST). Abigail is also a recipient of a Postgraduate Achievement Scholarship awarded by the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology.

“I was original supposed to be here for one year only, however, I’m enjoying studies at UTs so I have decided to stay an extra year to study the master of engineering studies (Civil engineering). Compared to my previous university, UTs provides more practical lectures.

I enjoy the lectures most because the lecturers teach in such a way that it is very easy to understand, but group work works also well for me, especially when I find myself in a good group where all the members are fully committed. It helps me to learn and understand better, since I meet people with different cultural and social backgrounds and experiences which I tap into!

The practical assignments also help me to apply what I learn in class to solve challenging societal problems. What has really improved my learning experience is UTs online. This is because it gives me access to all the learning materials, as well useful website links which I need to be a successful student.”

FROM BRAZIL Master of Environmental Engineering Management

Raquel Gregorio de Almeida is from Belo Horizonte, the capital of the largest city in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, located in the Southeastern region of the country. An ancient colonial and the third largest city in Brazil it is also the main baroque architectonic centre of South America.

raquel completed a Bachelor of surveying engineering from University of minas Gerais and also has a specialisation in occupational safety engineering. she is also a recipient of the UTs:engineering masters scholarship for outstanding International students. raquel is currently enrolled in the master of environmental engineering management.

“I had already been working as a consultant engineer, specialising in occupational health and safety, and felt I had quite a good career but then I decided I wanted to improve my english - I realised that you need to be fluent in english to work globally. London was an attraction but probably cold, so australia looked good with an excellent climate and environment.

I had been to australia for a holiday in 2007, when I visited Victoria, including melbourne, as well as adelaide and Canberra. after that I realized that australia would be one of the best options for further studies. since that time I started looking for universities that offered the course that I was looking for. The agency that brought me into australia helped me to find out about UTs. I checked the UTs course details, the ranking compared with other universities in sydney, and then I realised that UTs was my best option to pursue a masters in environmental engineering management.”

FROM GERMAnY Master of Engineering Management

Thomas Paulus is from Aachen near Frankfurt in Germany and currently enrolled in the Master of Engineering Management program. Thomas completed an Industrial Engineering degree from RWTH Aachen University in Germany before coming to Australia. Thomas is also a recipient of the Postgraduate Achievement Scholarship offered by the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology.

“I had done quite of bit of research on what sort of postgraduate courses I could do and what universities to do them at. The master of engineering management at UTs attracted me because I wanted to use my undergraduate knowledge and build on that to a much higher level. The mem has really met my expectations and I feel that I’ll be able to use what I’m learning and that the knowledge is preparing me for my future career. The structure of the course is quite different to what I was used to in Germany, for example, we’re required to submit assignments throughout the semester whereas in Germany you do that at the end of the semester. I think it’s good here because it puts less pressure on the students to do everything at the end of semester. We also do a lot of group assignments – they’re quite hard but really prepare you for real life and work because you have to work in a team with a lot of different personalities.

I would like to stay on and may be do an mBa but eventually I’ll go back to Germany.”

jInjIU LI AnD WEI WEI

FROM CHInA Doctor of Philosophy

Wei Wei and jinjiu Li are PhD students studying under the Advanced Analytics Institute (AAI) and the Centre for Quantum Computation and Intelligent Systems (QCIS). Their PhD research has seen them collaborating with industry on various projects. They are currently working on a pilot project for a major financial corporation developing effective analytical models that are designed to prevent and detect financial crime and fraud.

Wei applied for a PhD at UTs after completing a masters in Network security at southeast University in China. Wei is particularly interested in areas of network security that combine research and its application in industry. her research involves building a risk control model incorporating discriminative behaviour analysis. The outcome of the research will provide a framework and robust methodologies for detection and identification of dynamic fraud behaviours in the area of finance.

“I want my research to be applied to the workplace in a practical and efficient way so a positive impact can be witnessed in real world terms.”

Jinjiu came to his PhD with five years of industry experience in software development and was motivated by a desire to explore ways of utilising the vast wealth of data that is available to industry. his PhD was inspired by a strong sense of the gap between data mining research and its real-world application. Jinjiu’s thesis explores ways in which fraud detection can be achieved through contrast pattern mining.

“In industry there is a vast amount of information and data available for use but a significant lack of knowledge about the data itself and how to use it. I want to help close that gap.”

jALAL ALjAZEERI

FROM kInGDOM OF BAHRAIn Master of Interactive Multimedia

jalal Aljazeeri is from the kingdom of Bahrain and is currently enrolled in the Master of Interactive Multimedia. jalal completed a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at the University of Bahrain and is a recipient of the Achievement Scholarships for Postgraduate International Students awarded by the Faculty of Engineering & Information Technology.

“I arrived in sydney just a few days before my first semester started. It took me quite a while to absorb things fully, adjust to a new lifestyle, and understand how things are run both academically and socially.

The scholarship I received from the faculty gave me a great confidence boost. It is a badge of honour. I hope that it stays a reminder to me that hard work pays off. and financially of course, the scholarship helped me too - at long last - to upgrade some of my devices and subscriptions.

as far as teaching methods are concerned, the one I found was most effective and thought was ideal, is the online group discussions; where we had to actively discuss different topics after class after having done the related readings. This method, to me, was specifically interesting, as it allowed all the students to be exposed to different views, give and receive constructive feedback to our work, and share our resources with one another. all of this wouldn’t have been possible within the time limit of the classes. at first I was sceptical of the amount of theory we were required to study. I wanted intensive, practical, hands-on courses. I am now a big believer that the learning experience cannot be complete with only one without the other. The synergy between the two is of high importance.”

SALMA BEGUM

FROM InDIA Master of Information Technology (Extended)

Salma Begum is from Hyderabad in the state of Andhra Pradesh in India. She holds a Diploma in Computer Science Engineering and Bachelor of Computer Science Engineering degree and is a current student of the UTS Master of Information Technology (Extended). Salma has worked at Wipro Technologies, a multinational company in India for a few years as a Project Engineer before coming to UTS. Salma is a recipient of a UTS Academic Excellence Scholarship and has also received an ACS Dean’s Scholarship for her outstanding first semester results at UTS.

“out of the list of universities, I opted for UTs due to various reasons like its reputation throughout the world and also its location in the sydney city that makes travelling very easy. UTs is an abode of students of various casts, cultures, languages and different fields. my first day at the university was a warm welcoming day with many peer networkers who supported me with the university tour and also guided me to various locations in the vast university area. my journey to the university began smoothly with extremely supportive student centres and IT support staff. There is huge unlimited access to computers, internet and printers.

The voyage of my two semesters at UTs was wonderful. my hard work helped me to come out with flying colours. I truly believe that there is no compensation to hard work. The mIT (extended) course lets you expose to different study methods like preparing assignments, reports, giving presentations and involving in discussions in tutorials. The courses at UTs allow you to choose the subjects that interest you. The lecturers and tutors are quite friendly and helpful. Your hard work always gets rewarded at UTs.”
