My Journey from a student to an Electrical Engineer
Yash Mehta
Planning Engineer @ Western Power | Master of Professional Engineering (Permanent Resident - Australia)
I am pleased to share that I have completed my master’s degree in Electrical & Electronic Engineering from?The University of Western Australia . I thank my family, friends, academics, and colleagues, and my mentor Marc Greco who supported me through this journey.
?The key highlight of my degree was being part of the Main Road Australia project “Enhanced vehicle detection for smart freeways and intersections “ to investigate alternative vehicle detection technologies for traffic signal control and smart freeway operations through a comparative desktop analysis and field trials of shortlisted technologies at two locations (intersection and freeway) in order to inform the future enhanced detection installation business case and delivery strategy under the guidance of Prof Farid Boussaid. Apart from that, I learned about constantly evolving fields such as control systems, Instrumentation & Control, Machine Learning, thoroughly enjoying the projects as I love hands-on work. I also enjoyed working with?Electrical and Electronic Engineers of WA - EEEWA ?as a committee member and volunteering with?UniMentor UWA to mentor future engineers of similar disciplines. Ever since I was a child, I have had a keen interest in?#technology . Gradually, I developed an aspiration to make the world a better place for the community through my technical work and that is why I chose to study?# electrical engineering . A few years into the industry, I had the urge to dive deeper into my areas of interest and thus took up a master's degree. I had accomplished 30 projects both working as a team and personal projects during my bachelors and master's degree. In addition to that, my recent project done with Mains Road Australia in collaboration with UWA will be published in a journal later this year.
Some key highlights of my past work. I started my career as an electrical design engineer in India in 2017. In the search to advance my knowledge and career, I chose Australia to be the best destination to start with. I developed networking skills, leadership skills, and time management skills doing projects with my teammates at university. During my two years of University, I have done a couple of internships in Perth as an artificial intelligence intern at Stealth technologies Pvt Ltd on Setting up a new autonomous security vehicle project for the Australian Defence system and as a control system Intern at Alerton Australia working on 3 major projects. In addition to that, I tried to develop and improvise my skills through the Linkedin platform in a total of more than 65 skills apart from interpersonal skills developed during my work phase.
The next phase of my life will be to work as a graduate electrical and electronics engineer in a reputed organization in the following areas namely:
1)?????Mining sector.
2)?????Control System and Automation Sector (PLC &SCADA).
领英推荐
3)?????Building System and Automation Sector (BMS).
4)?????Power system sector.
5)?????Electrical Design Engineer.
I am happy and proud to be a master's graduate of UWA. You all have been a part of my journey through the Linkedin platform and would like to reach out to you to suggest and recommend me a possible available role/position in these sectors within Australia where I could play an important role in the development of society.
I intend to return to the industry full time and continue to bring tangible benefits through my work!
How many people are better off because I lived. Freedom. Family. Hope. Reward.
