Myleene Moura is in her 3rd year of studying Electrical and Electronic Engineering. 

Why did you choose to study your programme at Queen Mary and why Queen Mary? 

I chose to study Electrical and Electronic Engineering at Queen Mary University of London because of its strong reputation for research and innovation in engineering, particularly in areas such as power systems. I found this very cool when I came to the open day for this course. Additionally, Queen Mary is known for its diverse and inclusive environment, which provides a dynamic learning atmosphere.  

 What is your favourite thing about Queen Mary? 

My favourite thing about Queen Mary is the friends and teachers I have met along the way. I feel they played a very influential role in my life from building my courage to apply to certain societies and clubs to giving me the confidence to speak to open crowds. The lecturers have massively helped me grow, not only as an engineer but as a person. They have provided amazing help and advice for my future, and for that, I am forever grateful.  

Which modules did you most enjoy and were there any academics that had a strong influence on shaping your time and studies here? 

My favourite modules are tailored towards the signal’s aspect of engineering. Modules such as control systems, signals and information, communication systems and digital signal processing are related very closely to each other around systems and how information travels via signals. This shaped my ambition and passion within this field based on the complexity and applications it has. The professor whose teaching style made his subject more engaging or easier to understand was Dr John Schormans. The enjoyment of teaching the module was reflected in me greatly. 

Are you a member of any societies or attend any industry events during your time at Queen Mary? If so which and what did you gain from them? 

I am a member of the Formula Student Society where our team makes cars and races them in Silverstone among other universities. I gained mechanical engineering techniques, and electronics skills to wire a car and improved my communication and teamwork skills. This helped my knowledge not only academically but also being a team player and working with others.  

What kind of careers/employability support do you get during your studies? 

We had gotten introductions into “MySkills” which helped us advance our careers by helping us sign up and do courses to benefit our CV. I had done a Forage course related to various activities to help me think outside the box. The Queen Mary Careers and Enterprise website lists different internships and graduate schemes available every week; this helped me get an internship during the summer.  

What do you hope to do after graduation? 

I hope to get a job within the aviation or automotive industry. I am very passionate about F1 and hope to merge this with my future occupation. I hope to develop groundbreaking tech that will improve the industry. Overall, I aim to help others and make life easier for them and I hope it will show through my work.  

What's one piece of advice you'd offer to someone considering studying Electrical And Electronic Engineering at Queen Mary? 

The field of engineering builds upon the advanced concepts of Maths and Physics that you’ve previously learned, making them feel more practical and applied. However, the lecturers are highly supportive, making sure that you understand the material and succeed in your studies, as they are committed to helping students reach their full potential. Nobody will be against you.
