I've membership in both Professional Engineers Australia and Engineers Australia organizations. There are thousands of Professional Engineers Australia members and Engineers Australia members working around the world in different engineering platforms so being member of those associations will open up access to vast network of engineers.
Definitely I want to participate almost all the activities which organized by the Professional Engineers Australia and Engineers Australia associations. I already got some emails from Professional Engineers Australia and those emails were about about up coming activities which is going to held in the end of this month.


I went to this careers fair and then meet up with Toshiba company representatives. I asked them about internship vacancies and they told me they only have full time internship opportunities and once you graduated in 2020 December you can apply for us and they took my details also.
Get connected and communicate with them at least weekly basis will helps in many different ways. For instance being friends with Professional Engineer my uncle and University lecture my teacher really helps me as a student because they already being thorough what I'm going thorough right now so they always know how to guide you and tell what to do and what not to do. And also they introduced me lots of engineer who are friends of theirs.

Doctor D Abey:

Feedback
He gave me a lot of feedback when I was doing my undergraduate final year project. Every-time when I got doubt about something always sent him a emails. Also send me links to you tube videos and web pages to refer the knowledge that I want to complete the project. His encouragement and guiding skill helps me to create a successful project. He had introduced his colleagues who works in Australia currently and it helps me lot to understand and adjust to the lifestyle in here Australia. Thank You very much uncle.

Doctor Alex Peris:
When I was doing my advanced level studies I learned physics from him. He's university lecture in Sri Lanka and his major is Nanotechnology. He recently completed his PhD and his research was based on increase the solar panel capacity from 40% respect to current solar panels.
Feedback
He give me idea about how to became a professional researcher one day. He explained simply how did his maters in research and his PhD so from that I gained lots of knowledge about how to pressure my career in future. Also he gave me links for research papers websites and me to read them. Thank you very much teacher.
