Sal Maloney
I studied at Monash University in Melbourne and completed an Honours Degree in Materials Science (the science of metals, plastics, ceramics and composites) and afterwards a PhD in Materials Engineering.
Maurice Schneider
I studied Mechanical Engineering at Central Queensland University, with really very little idea of what engineers did in the work place. I had a general idea that they designed things but with hindsight I had no idea about the fabulous opportunities that lay ahead in a such a tremendous variety of areas.
Phillip Strachan
My first contact with Rio Tinto (then CRA) was in 1980 at an on campus interview in my final year of a Commerce degree at Melbourne University. I really didn't know what I wanted to do as a career but thought that getting a job with a large company was perhaps a reasonable stepping-stone.
