The next generation of female engineers have graduated from Western Sydney University with big goals for the future.

Amongst the latest graduates are Kuer Duot and Yeukai Deshe, who both completed a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Civil Engineering).

Kuer and Yeukai studied at the University's Kingswood campus and have their own unique stories but ultimately share the same goal – wanting to make a difference in people's lives, while motivating the next generation of female engineers.

Yeukai discovered her passion for building and problem solving when she would play with Lego as a child.

"When I was little, I loved helping my dad put things together around the house, I loved playing with Lego, doing cross words and word searches. These things pushed my mindset into wanting to know how things work together," said Yeukai.
