Dajne WinBachelor of Computer and InformationSciences in Networks and SecurityMaster of Information Security andDigital Forensics student

Master of Information Security and Digital Forensics studentDajne Win has long been fascinated by information security

and its impact on the wider technology industry.“Information security is often taken for granted, and recentevents have highlighted the need for increased levels ofprotection, prevention and understanding of digital security,”Dajne says.

Security practices and cryptography Currently working on his master’s thesis, Dajne is investigatingin-browser GPU accelerated cryptography.

“Effectively my thesis accelerates chosen cryptography ina browser, using a device’s GPU. I’m hoping that mobileand tablet devices will see the greatest benet, as thiscould increase security as well as save power for theseportable devices.”

Connected to industry He says he would highly recommend both the Bachelor ofComputer and Information Sciences and Master of InformationSecurity and Digital Forensics to other students.

“AUT has a good reputation with industry and great industryconnections. There are a number of major events wherestudents can meet potential employers as well as weekly talksby industry professionals, so lots of opportunities to network.”

Nurul Hidayah RazakDoctor of Philosophy candidate

With an interest in physics and science, engineeringwas the logical career choice, says Nurul Hidayah Razakwho is currently completing a Doctor of Philosophy inmechanical engineering.

“When I was a child I was always wondering how a vehiclecan move from one point to another. It was questions likethis that rst made me interested in mechanical things andengineering,” says Nurul.

Superalloys in areospace engineeringAfter completing her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in hernative Malaysia, Nurul was looking for the right supervisor tohelp her expand her knowledge of machining nickel-basedalloy. She says with Professor Zhan Chen she has found theperfect person to work with.

“He is a highly respected expert in material engineering, and Ilove the environment at AUT,” says Nurul who is focusing onnickel-based superalloys and their effect on tool deteriorationfor her doctoral thesis.

“While there has been a lot of research on tool deteriorationduring the machining of nickel-based superalloys, how thetool deteriorates and the modes of tool failure are not yet fullyunderstood. My research aims to provide an explanation ofhow a physically based method to monitor tool deteriorationcan be developed.”

Support for research studentsShe says she would highly recommend AUT’s engineeringprogrammes to others.

“Studying here is the best thing that has happened in my life.AUT has one of the best support systems for research students.

“The lecturers, especially my supervisors, always encourage meto be an active researcher. The technical staff are supportive,and AUT offers great facilities and labs for students.”

Robbie PerisSenior Operations Engineer, Fisher & Paykel HealthcareBachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Mechanical EngineeringMaster of Engineering (Honours)

The amazing contributions engineers make to our world iswhat rst drew Robbie Peris to the eld of engineering.

“I always wanted to become an engineer and be part of thisexciting profession where you can really make a difference,”

says Robbie who is now a senior operations engineer at Fisher& Paykel Healthcare.

“In this role I’m able to use my engineering knowledge to helpFisher & Paykel expand its range of medical devices. I enjoymaking a positive contribution to society, and eventually Iwould like to lead a design team or company.”

Exploring metal forming processesFor his work, Robbie regularly draws on the expert knowledgeof metal forming processes he developed during his AUTmaster’s project.

“My master’s research project explored extrusion, the processof forcing semisoft materials through a specially shaped

mould. I worked with Fletcher Aluminium to help themminimise the defects that sometimes occur during this process,determine optimum process setting and increase productivity.”

“I enjoyed the challenge of nding a solution to a real-worldproblem – it was one of the highlights of my master’s study.”

To complete the research, Robbie worked closely with theNational Centre of Metal Forming (part of AUT’s Engineering

Research Institute), which supports the New Zealandmetals industry through research in all areas of metalforming processes.

A strong career foundationRobbie initially chose to study at AUT because of its strongreputation for practical learning, smaller class sizes and moreone-on-one time with lecturers. It’s a decision he has notregretted.

“I believe that my AUT qualications gave me an excellentfoundation for my engineering career. They equipped me withthe full range of skills needed to be a successful engineer –including a sound understanding of engineering principlesand independent study skills. I’m sure that these skills will beuseful throughout my entire career,” Robbie says.

Rajarajeshwari (Raji) Ashwin RaiAssistant Project Manager, The Building Intelligence GroupMaster of Engineering Project Management

The mix of engineering and project management skills is whatrst attracted Rajarajeshwari (Raji) Ashwin Rai to AUT’s Masterof Engineering Project Management.

“There is a strong need for project management skills forengineering projects. My background is in mechanicalengineering, but I was really interested in the projectmanagement side of things,” Raji says.“AUT’s Master of Engineering Project Management was perfectfor me as it integrates engineering with project managementskills. Having a master’s degree is also extremely helpful if youwant to progress your career.”

All aspects of engineering projects The range of topics the degree covers in just one year isimpressive, Raji says.

“The papers covered a wide range of topics related toengineering projects – from advanced project management,human resources and asset management to corporate socialresponsibility and nance. It wasn’t just theory-based learning;

the emphasis was on the practical application of knowledge.“I also appreciated that the academics didn’t just coverstandard textbook project management but also took you

through non-conventional areas of project management.That’s a great preparation for the engineering projects you’relikely to work on in your career.”

Relevant and career readyAs an assistant project manager for the Building IntelligenceGroup Raji now applies what she learned on a daily basis.

“AUT taught me about the essentials of project management inNew Zealand’s engineering sector,” Raji says.

“Once I started working, I realised how crucial everything Ilearned is in my career now.”

Women in engineering During her time at AUT, Raji also enjoyed the networking andsocial events available to women engineers.

“I really enjoyed the ‘Women in Engineering’ social events,and met a few people from the engineering industry throughthese events. I would highly recommend these events to otherwomen studying engineering.”

Ioane (John) TagiilimaBuilding Control Inspector, Auckland CouncilMaster of Construction Management student

With a dream to manage big construction projects, Ioane(John) Tagiilima knew the Master of Construction Managementwould lay the perfect foundation to reach his goal.

“My ultimate goal is to manage projects that address climateresilience, and look after the poor and the marginalised,” saysIoane whose work experience includes ve years in the PacicIslands, working in disaster risk reduction, water engineeringand construction.

“My current role at Auckland Council enables me to havea broader perspective of the building industry. Playing aregulatory role in the Council is important for any buildingconstruction, as it ensures the building is t for purpose andsafe.

“I have the privilege of working alongside some AUT alumniand have been impressed by the way they approach tasks. Iknew the programme would be a good transition from mywork experience.”

Relevant skills for construction professionals

He says he would recommend the programme to otherconstruction professionals.

“It’s highly relevant for the workplace and can set you up wellfor the future. The staff are great, classes are diverse and weoften have guest speakers from the industry come in to talk tous. The skills I’m learning are so relevant for my work.”

Assignments that focus on real-world construction projectsare another strength of the programme, Ioane says.

“One of my assignments, for example, was on an ongoingconstruction project and involved meeting the projectmanagers and engineers involved on the ground. Theirdedication to their work and the everyday management of thedifferent stages of their work was an eye opener. I found itinspiring.”

Choosing the right optionsThe biggest challenge for Ioane was choosing the papers thatbest suited his career goals and work schedule, and he says heis grateful for the help that was on hand.

“I was so privileged that Dr Bhavani Paulraj, AUT’spostgraduate liaison manager, helped me go through my

options and sort out my timetable. She helped me makeinformed decisions about my postgraduate study, and I willalways be thankful for her time,” says Ioane.
