Enrolling in Design Computing has opened<br />
up many opportunities for me in terms <strong>of</strong><br />
academics <strong>and</strong> work experience. I have been<br />
lucky enough to embark on an International<br />
Exchange, <strong>and</strong> been given the opportunity<br />
to further my interest in research through an<br />
Honours year. It was through this degree that<br />
I was able to develop an interest in wearable<br />
technology, interactive systems, user interface,<br />
<strong>and</strong> <strong>interaction</strong> <strong>design</strong>.<br />
I greatly appreciated the ability to <strong>design</strong> my<br />
own degree <strong>of</strong> study from such broad range<br />
<strong>of</strong> classes, from biological sciences to general<br />
drawing to interactive installations. Even though<br />
not every class was my favourite, *cough* sound<br />
<strong>design</strong> *cough* I can still see the clear benefits<br />
<strong>of</strong> everything we have studied.<br />
In hindsight I am also able to reflect on how<br />
on the pulse this degree is attuned to the<br />
latest emerging technologies <strong>and</strong> techniques. I<br />
remember back in first year having to theorise a<br />
<strong>design</strong> for an application for this new phone that<br />
had not even arrived into the Australian market.<br />
It was a strange device with a touch screen, who<br />
would have thought that was possible? Why<br />
was I being asked to develop an application<br />
for something that did not even exist? Well, it<br />
turns out that phone was an iPhone, <strong>and</strong> only<br />
two short years later I would have the skills<br />
to develop, <strong>design</strong> <strong>and</strong> implement a working<br />
application for it.<br />
Honours: Curious<br />
