PIYUSH SOMVANSHI
Master of Engineering in Manufacturing
Engineering and Management
Piyush Somvanshi had spent three years in his industry after
completing his Bachelor of Engineering in Mumbai before
deciding to pursue his master’s in Australia.
“From my work experience, I knew that initially, in 5-10 years I
would be working as a technical person, and then I would be
promoted to a manager’s position. So I wanted to learn both
sides right now, so that I got a solid lead on the others,” says
Piyush.
Piyush’s time at UTS has opened up a raft of work
opportunities such as being a Student Promotional
Representative for the Faculty of Engineering, working for
Access UTS to assist Japanese students, and joining the Peer
Network. He’s also completed both the Accomplish Award
and Soul Award.
These experiences have taught Piyush many lessons about
securing the ideal industry position.
“You have to actually make contacts in industry. Go to
networking events, socialize with people don’t stick to your
own group. You have to know people to get your foot in the
door and get an interview,” he says.
“Be active at university. Being active in university gets you
university jobs.”
What are his plans after finishing his degree?
“I would rather learn from here and try to implement those
things back home. Down the lane I want to start my own
business and into consulting,” Piyush says.
His advice for international students looking to study at UTS
is simple.
“Explore, make new friends, and if you are scared, don’t
hesitate to ask for help, everyone is here to help!”

ROJAN SHRESTHA
Graduate Certificate in Engineering
For Rojan Shrestha, gaining a job with Vertical Telecoms was
directly related to his UTS studies. In particular, the company
was looking for someone with demonstrated experience
working with Nokia routers and switches. As part of the
university’s commitment to industry-relevant course content,
UTS had existing relationships with a range of companies in
the telecommunications field, including Nokia and Cisco.
“While I was studying at UTS, I took some subjects that were
based on UTS’s collaboration with Nokia.” Rojan says.
“UTS has developed a work-based learning approach that I
liked very much. When I started working, I didn’t need much
technical training. I just went there, understood the company
and got started straight away”
“When employers look for their prospective employees, they
look for people who they need to use less resources for the
training. I believe the time I spent with UTS not only helped me
with my technical skills but also developed a can do attitude
which will help me for my future career.”

through automation.
Delivered through practical studios, this multidisciplinary
major will give you an advanced knowledge of robotic
engineering. This includes the application of design thinking,
a deep understanding of the traditional principles of robot
motion systems, industrial application of robotics and
advanced subjects that consider collision, avoidance and
optimisation for robot trajectory planning and control.
Underpinned by maths, hardware and software, control and
planning, sensing and perception, this major is motivated by
real-world application to respond to global demand.
