Engineering has many diverse disciplines, so finding your niche can take some time.

Today we speak to UQ software engineering student, Jessica Rock, and hear how she found her calling in software engineering.

Jess wasn’t always convinced engineering was for her. Jess found the more traditional engineering disciplines like civil or mechanical engineering didn’t spark her interest. It was only when she studied her first software engineering courses that she discovered the joys of coding and grew to love the discipline.

For Jess, the ability to solve problems, see immediate results, and use software as a means for positive change are the ingredients to a rewarding career in coding.
