I went to the Dyson School of Design Engineering at imperial college London, where I graduated with 1st class master's of engineering.The course covered a wide range of fields, some of the skills studied were: Design, Mechanics, Fluid & Thermodynamics, Big Data analysis, Robotics & Advanced Robotics, Physical computing, Algoritmic design, design for manufacturing and more...
My key takaway from my degree was the empowerment that doing such a wide range of project allows.
