Wilson C.

Engineering student building machines, software and systems.

I study mechanical engineering and biomedical science at Monash. Most of my time goes into things I can test: a tracked farm rover, 3D-printed parts, and software for the VCE English students I tutor. This is where I keep the build notes, including the parts that failed, and the essays I write on AI, education and where engineering is heading.

When the Future Changes Before You Arrive

AI is reshaping careers faster than students can graduate into them. But the question isn't whether our pathways will change. It's whether we understand our ambitions well enough to carry them through.

Chasing a Moving Target: Why AI Education Will Always Fall Behind Technology

AI is changing faster than schools and universities can write rules around it. The question is no longer whether students will use it. It's whether education will help them use it well.
