Alex Paterson

MEng Mechanical Engineering - Engineering Academy

Space School 2016
I was selected for the Houston trip, touring the NASA facilities and meeting some of my space heroes like Gene Kranz and Fred Haise from the Apollo missions. More than anything this showed me the scale of what was possible within engineering and how you can go anywhere with such a universal skillset.
Marnie McKay

MEng Electrical & Mechanical Engineering

Space School 2013
It was only after attending the Scottish Space School’s week-long residential programme at Strathclyde and the subsequent Learning Journey to Houston, Texas, that my eyes were opened to the world of engineering.
Neal Stokes

MEng Aero-Mechanical Engineering

Space School 2011
My participation in the 2011 Scottish Space School was a genuinely life-changing event for me. While I have always had a keen interest in science, aeronautics, and space, meeting people like engineer Amber Gell and astronaut Alvin Drew completely opened my eyes to the opportunities in the aerospace engineering sector.
Christopher Doyle

MEng Aero-Mechanical Engineering

Space School 2010
During the Space School week I was able to experience Engineering at Strathclyde first-hand and during the visit to Houston I was able to witness the incredible opportunities a degree in Engineering can provide. Following these experiences I realised that my passion was in Engineering.
