For Spring graduate Kate McLeod, the path to studying at the Marine Institute felt like “the right fit.”
“I’ve always been someone who liked figuring out how things work. Growing up, I was drawn to anything hands-on or technical—especially when it involved building or understanding systems,” she said.
“I wanted to be in a learning environment where I could work through problems, not just learn about them. MI is a unique place. It's somewhere you can clearly see how the subjects you’re learning about translate into the real world.”
On Wednesday, May 27, Ms. McLeod will collect her bachelor of technology (engineering technology and applied sciences) during Spring Convocation at the St. John’s Arts and Culture Centre.
Ms. McLeod previously completed a diploma of technology (naval architecture) in 2020.
“The diploma program helped me develop a strong technical foundation. It also helped me realize that I was just as interested in the bigger picture—how projects come together, how teams coordinate and how ideas move from concept to completion,” she shared.
“Enrolling in the bachelor of technology program felt like a natural next step for me to keep building in that direction.”
Ms. McLeod said the most rewarding aspects of the program were research and applying her knowledge and skills to her final project.
“It’s where everything really started to click for me,” she said. “My final project explored digital twin technology in the maritime industry and how it can be used to improve predictive maintenance and operational efficiency of vessels,”
“It was interesting to explore how this technology shifts maintenance from reactive to proactive. It also gave me the opportunity to look at how the technology works and how it can be applied in practice.”
Following graduation, Ms. McLeod plans to pursue a master of technology management (engineering technology and applied science). The program is offered by the Marine Institute’s School of Ocean Technology.
“Beyond furthering my education, I’m interested in moving toward teaching and curriculum development, and being part of shaping how programs are delivered.”
She also continues to work as the Student Liaison Officer with the Marine Institute’s department of Academic and Student Affairs.
“One of the biggest takeaways from my time at MI has been learning how to take an idea and see it through to completion. It shaped how I approach my work and helped solidify the skills I want to continue to build on.”
“The support from faculty, staff and peers created an environment where you’re encouraged to ask questions, figure things out and keep improving."
