Timothy Watson
Timothy Watson’s travels to Europe sparked his interest in the built environment. Now he’s doing what he loves, studying civil engineering and working towards a career in the building industry.
Associate Degree in Engineering Technology (Civil)
The field trips and hands-on approach has helped me develop my understanding of engineering concepts. I’ve also gained team, leadership and communication skills.
My fascination with buildings and architecture developed while travelling around Europe after completing high school. I chose to study at RMIT because I felt it provided the right teaching environment for my learning style.
The field trips and hands-on approach has helped me develop my understanding of engineering concepts. I’ve also gained team, leadership and communication skills.
While studying I’ve been inducted into the Golden Key International Honour Society, which credits the top 15% academic performers of the program.
I’ve really appreciated the friendships I’ve made at RMIT, being part of a group of positive thinkers has made studying fun and provided me guidance throughout my studies.
Civil engineering is competitive, and the associate degree is preparing me for further studies in the Bachelor of Engineering (Civil & Infrastructure) (Honours) degree.
I’m hoping to spend a semester on exchange in Prague and look for an internship to gain experience while I finish my studies. Once I finish my degree I hope to have a career in planning and constructing high rise buildings.
My advice to students is study what you love! Being involved in an area that I love and care about gives me immense satisfaction and enjoyment.
