Biomedical Science and Material Engineering student Gabi Newman signed up for the program to learn more about what real life Engineering looked like.

'It was great to get a behind the scenes view of the work that actually goes into the roads. The technology and manpower to get these roads functional was truly extraordinary.'

Chathurika Ravindra, Graduate Project Engineer

I thoroughly enjoyed the FEET program. Over the course of the week I was able to observe how Transurban’s motorways and tunnels are operated, to discuss leadership with Transurban executives and even add value by presenting some research to the business. Since the FEET program, I have had the opportunity to work Undergraduate Project Engineer over the summer break and now as a Graduate Project Engineer, where I have been involved in some of Transurban’s major projects.

I was selected to teach a team at a different organisation about Asset Management. This same team had previously rejected my application to work in their Asset Management team!
