Why I chose Electronics

Leaving school, I wanted to study product design. I was interested in the design of smartphones and other consumer electronics, but eventually found them far more complex than I had imagined. I realised that I would need to study electronic engineering to start designing and building similar devices. Since then, my horizons have broadened quite significantly.

Why I chose Nordson

Like most people, I had never heard of Nordson before applying. Upon researching the firm, I quickly realised the importance Nordson plays as a supplier of precision manufacturing and testing equipment, and thought that if I were able to intern there, my work could have enormous scope in its use in industry. Upon working here, I understand this to be indubitably true.

My Work and Responsibilities

I have interned for two years at Nordson. In my first year, I was responsible for writing tests for X-Ray sensor PCBs, and in my second year I have been writing VHDL as part of an image processing module for an X-Ray sensor. I have found the work mentally challenging, and excellent in improving my understanding of complexity, and how things work in industry.

My Interests

Outside of my work and university, I run the university paintball society. It’s more of a sporting society where we compete against other universities throughout the year, and against other teams during the summer. Otherwise, I am interested in photography, and whilst my interests change, I currently prefer shots that involve dynamic perspectives of architecture and urban environments.
