How or why did you get into engineering?
I come from a long line of engineers so I guess you could say it’s in my blood. As a child, I was wildly obsessed with taking things apart, putting them back together again, and seeing how the mechanisms worked in my toys. During high school, the math behind engineering caught my interest. So, I guess, that’s how I got into engineering.
What do you enjoy most about your role, and what is your biggest challenge?
What I like about my role is that I get to work with a lot of different people. This role depicts the true essence of teamwork. The learning has been great so far.,. Also, I get to learn about the manufacturing industry in Pakistan, and the technical aspects that go along with it. One of the challenges that I have faced is having my work not taken seriously being a woman engineer. However, the working culture in Pakistan is evolving and every little improvement goes a long way. This progression strives me to make it better on an individual level, as well as using the platform given to me by Atlas Copco.
How do you see the future of engineering?
Engineering is a vast field, but I believe, in the end, it all boils down to problem-solving using new techniques, methods, and out-of-the-box solutions. The engineering field in Pakistan is playing a vital role in the advancement of technology in our society to help in improving and optimizing our current processes.
