Mech Series 2: Continuing with the series, I talked with Chia Chi who's one of the handful of girls in my class. Besides hearing about her experience in mechanical engineering, she grew up in Durban, South Africa and I wanted learn more about that. We had previously talked about how we felt a little unsure about our program so I was pleasantly surprised to hear that she started getting more involved and felt more passionate about her work and education. She talks about the cool autonomous sailboat project she's been working on as well as how she feels about working in the industry. When we got to her unique upbringing, there were lots of surprises about how she grew up and what she considered to be normal. It was also interesting to hear the things she found surprising about Vancouver and how she boldly moved her life across the world.
