student profiles
Rekil Ravikumar
Rekil is from Trivandrum in the state of Kerala in Southern India.
Rekil completed his Bachelor of Technology (Computer Science &
Engineering) at the University of Kerala and is currently enrolled in
the Master of Engineering Management. Rekil is also the recipient
of a Postgraduate Scholarship.
“I had already worked for about seven years with Infosys
Technologies, Microsoft and IBM on Service Management,
Project Management, Transition Management and Administration
(Server/Network). I decided that I needed to learn more about
management in order to work more effectively. With the current
global financial crisis, I thought it would be a good time to increase
my knowledge base.
I had already been exposed to the employment market in the US
and the Middle East and felt I wanted to study outside of India. The
options I considered were the US and the UK but I thought they were
expensive given the benefits.
I started to explore Australia and found the two year MEM/MBA
program, which suited me best. I realised that I had very little
experience in managing people and projects but at the same time
I wasn’t interested in changing my career path. Since starting the
course, I see what I can improve on and I’ve had a lot of new insights
– the quality and project management subjects especially, have
been so relevant to my work. The group work in class is very much
like what you would experience in the workplace: brainstorming and
teamwork. You explore real practice, learn how to make effective
decisions and have a healthy competition among your peers. The
systems are new and I can already see an improvement in myself.
I felt a bit apprehensive about settling in when I first arrived but
UTS has this great thing called Peer Networkers – other students
who volunteer to help newcomers like me. One peer networker, an
undergraduate Engineering student took me, amongst other things,
to the bank to open an account! I settled in much faster thanks to
him. Spending time with the Peer Networkers and completing the
UTS Orientation Program made UTS seem so familiar to me.
I’ve already signed up to do the training to become a Peer
Networker myself.
I was very honoured to receive a scholarship in recognition of my
academic results. It gave me a big morale boost. I’ve felt comfortable
here from day one. I have no regrets and am confident that I’m
getting what I’ve set out do to.
Sightseeing is great in Sydney. I’ve been to see the Opera House,
Bondi Beach, Watson’s Bay, The Rocks and I’d like to see the Snowy
Mountains and the Gold Coast.”
Larissa Reis
Larissa Reis came to Australia to study the Master of Engineering
Management. She is from Salvador, Bahia, a city on the north-
east coast of Brazil and the capital of the north-eastern Brazilian
state of Bahia. Salvador is also known as Brazil's capital of
happiness due to its easygoing population and countless popular
outdoor parties, including its street carnival.
I chose Australia because I’ve always wanted to live and study
overseas and I believe you simply must have a second language
for career and work purposes. Once I decided on Australia, I went
through an agent who told me he’d visited UTS: Engineering and
recommended the Master of Engineering Management (MEM)
saying the Faculty was famous for preparing students for work.
So I took his advice and made a very quick decision, before
I graduated, to do the MEM.
I like everything about the MEM. The subjects, for example,
managing people and innovation technology – very enlightening.
Everything is useful coming from an engineering background.
It’s not just theory; I find everything is applicable to me. In my
undergraduate degree it was all about numbers and maths
and now I have to read academic texts. All the subjects link
together and this makes learning easier. At the beginning it was
challenging. You really have to get organised, but of course it’s not
impossible. There’s a lot of support and you look around you and
see others doing it, so you think you can too!
When I was studying for the exams, I went to the library on a
regular basis. I got up early, took the bus and studied in the library.
It’s great because you can concentrate and focus on your research.
It’s quiet and has everything you need, such as a Presentation
Room, where you can trial your group work.
Sydney’s a beautiful city and very safe. In my free time I love being
at home with my husband. He’s doing a music program at the
Conservatorium. We hire DVDs and eat popcorn, cook, listen to
music and also play the guitar and keyboard. We have friends over
and play cards and talk – people are very important to me.
During my first few months I took a job as a waitress which was
a great experience. I was promoted to sub manager very quickly
and learned a lot of things about managing people.
I never thought I’d meet so many people from so many countries
all over the world!”
