Thank you. There are many engineers in our extended family (civil, mechanical, materials & software) and we have already gotten the sense that maths doesn’t play a big part in their work. DS is aiming to study R & D engineering, an undergrad course which incorporates aspects of several other undergrad engineering courses and includes participation in a research project (as an extra course load) from the beginning of first year. He intends to choose from amongst the renewables technology projects on offer at the time he commences.
I do worry about his prospects in Australia since it is a small economy with leaders still very invested in the fossil fuel industry but, at some point, I suspect the population will turn fairly rapidly to renewables and it would be great if DS is highly skilled up at the point when demand & investment escalate.
