feature FROM -35o IN ANTARCTICA TO 35o AT USQ Many new students started their first semester of university study in February this year. Among them was Aaron who, after working as an electrician for 12 years in some of the most amazing parts of the world, is now immersing himself in studying an Associate Degree of Engineering (Electrical and Electronic Engineering) full-time.
