      I had a studentship from MMM (MSM) at CSIR, Pretoria under the supervision of Mariette Conning and Pieter Roux (at CSIR) for both my honours and masters degrees in mechanical engineering through the University of Pretoria. I worked full time at the CSIR on a large project that formed the basis of my masters. The topic of which was in line with the goals and projects being completed within the Bio-mechanical platform at MMM. I also took part in several other projects within the department that involved the design of mechanical components. Detailed information on my responsibilities and completed projects can be seen in my CV above. Show less

      I did vacation work as well as part time work at MMM (MSM) at CSIR, Pretoria under the supervision of Mariette Conning. I worked on several projects that involved mechanical design and also exposed me to the world of prostheses and mechatronics. I spent most of the year working on my final year project for my BEng (Mechanical) degree which formed part of the work within the Bio-mechanical platform. My project included the design, manufacturing, and testing of an inexpensive active prosthetic knee for above-the-knee amputees. Show less

      I worked part-time at sparrow consulting under the supervision of Brix Els on some of the manual and training material the company provides to its clients, including SOPs. As a result, my research, report writing and Microsoft Word skills were greatly improved and have benefited me ever since in the technical field that is mechanical engineering.
