Curriculum Vitae

I am currently doing my Work integrated Learning (P2) at Tshwane University of Technology Chemical Engineering Laboratory and will be completing my National Diploma in Chemical Engineering on the 30th of July 2018. The laboratory exposes me to a wide range of chemicals, equipments, process control systems, engineering management skills, research methodologies and leadership skills. With the knowledge and determination I have, I believe I am competent enough to work in an industrial engineering sector.

I improve my engineering and research skills on daily basis by reading and I’m currently reading on distillation methods, bio-energy, thermodynamics, water purification and energy conservation methods. I wish to become a successful Chemical Engineer one day. I am a highly motivate, eager to learn and explore new environments. I always try to improve my social and verbal skills daily through interacting with people from different cultural backgrounds and reading books 1. Personal details
