   Basil Dillon-Malone was an engineering student at University College Dublin
   in the 1960s. In this interview Prof AOIFE AHERN, UCD, Dean of Engineering,
   speaks to Basil about what made his time at UCD special and where his career
   took him after graduating.
   
   The topics also include the role of debating within engineering, the
   increasing number of female engineering students at UCD and the challenges
   that need to be addressed to keep them in the profession after graduation.

   Held on Saturday, 24 August, the 35th reunion of the Civil Engineering Class

   time in the Civil Engineering Department in the 1980s.

   "As a night student, University College Dublin offered our generation who
   started work in Dublin in the 1960s with our Leaving Certs, the opportunity
   to progress to degree-level education. Our careers would have been very
   different without that opportunity from UCD.
   
   One of my flatmates in Drumcondra was Tom O'Hora and we both studied the
   BComm in the same classes at night. My abiding memory is of our walks from
   Earlsfort Terrace after the evening lectures through the City Centre and on
   to Drumcondra while mulling over what we had just heard." – Padraic White
   (BComm 1964)

   "You may not remember all the equations or all the theories that you learned,
   but what does stick with you is that problem-solving ability, that critical
   thinking, a way of approaching a problem, looking at it, and finding a new
   solution." 🚀
   
   UCD College of Engineering & Architecture alumnus Eóin Tuohy (BSc 2015, ME
   2016) recently inspired the Class of 2024 engineering graduates at their
   conferring ceremony on Monday, 2 September.
   
   Eóin reflected on his journey from being a University College Dublin student
   to founding a startup and working on space exploration projects, emphasising
   the importance of a problem-solving mindset gained from an engineering
   education.
   
   He encouraged graduates to pursue their passions, embrace opportunities, and
   explore new experiences, such as traveling, which can lead to unexpected and
   exciting career paths.
   
   He concluded by highlighting the critical role engineers will play in solving
   the world's biggest challenges, urging graduates to approach their future
   with creativity, innovation, and a sense of purpose.

   "In your 20s you should work and learn in areas that you are genuinely
   passionate about, try and be entrepreneurial within an organisation that
   facilitates it and see how it fits. Do, learn and readjust. The business you
   were meant to create may take time to reveal itself." 💼
   
   Having collaborated closely in the biotech sector for years, UCD alumnus and
   entrepreneur Mark O'Neill (BComm 2003, MAcc 2005) and Dr Moayed Hamza (a
   former researcher in the UCD School of Nursing, Midwifery, and Health
   Systems) are on a mission to build HAON Life Science - a global pharma
   company headquartered in Ireland.
   
   Their journey from University College Dublin to founding HAON Life Science is
   a powerful example of how a strong education and entrepreneurial drive can
   shape the future of healthcare.
