Meet Rani
Originally from Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia, Rani was interested in attending university close to home. She was impressed by Australian universities world-renown reputation for high quality education and especially by UTS’ ranking as the top young university in Australia.
Rani decided to pursue a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Biomedical Engineering. Some of Rani’s favourite aspects of studying at UTS included hands-on lab-based classes and access to state-of-the-art facilities.
“There were lots of subjects that involved practical work. Having classes in computer labs, biology, and chemistry labs were my favourite because they were always fun. I learned soldering for the first time when I had a project during the subject 'Introductory Digital Systems' and I used to spend so much time at the Mechatronics/Electrical Lab. I found it challenging and fun at the same time, and I learned a lot about the assembly of electrical components.
In my spare time, I usually went to the available computer labs because I love programming! Applications Programming was one of my favourite subjects. UTS has heaps of excellent facilities!”
Rani also took advantage of the range of vibrant clubs and societies at UTS and joined the Biomedical Engineering Society to connect with other students and attend industry networking events with several Sydney based medical device companies such as Medtronic and 360 Med Care. Eventually, Rani landed an internship with Optik Consultancy. As an intern, she experienced a professional workplace environment and completed real industry projects before graduation.
I was working in a team with a few other biomedical interns, to conduct research on Pulse Oximeter and to build Pulse Oximeter prototype. I helped with building the prototype and coding. It was really fun!
After graduating in 2018, Rani found an opportunity to kickstart her career via UTS CareerHub. After the application and interview process, Rani successfully entered the workforce as a Test Engineer with Sydney-based AtCor Medical CardieX—where she still works in 2022. In this role, Rani is responsible for writing verification plan and protocol, performing verifications, generating testing reports, executing automated tests systems, involved in research, and in product development activities.
