Elizabeth O'Brien, Australia
"I am extremely honoured to be awarded this scholarship. As an engineer in a very competitive and regularly evolving industry, as well as a new, young mother, juggling work and life balance, this course offers a unique ability for me to develop in an area that I am passionate about, become specialised and an integral member of our maintenance team at work.
For me, preventative maintenance is the way of the future and is imperative for my industry to adopt this style of maintenance. The benefits of vibrational monitoring are overwhelming and to have the chance to expand these skills is a great dream. This course will strengthen my confidence when analysing vibrational data from the numerous and different mechanical equipment across my site. One of the biggest challenges in my field of work is having confidence in the data and analysis that is carried out, so it can be relayed effectively to the trade’s team and the right decisions made. "
-Elizabeth O'Brien, Koppers Carbon Materials & Chemicals
Edicson Santiago Bonilla Diaz, Ireland
"It is incredible how a decision that we make can impact so much in people's life. Being awarded with the Mobius Institute Scholarship program has reminded me that we have to believe in what we are, believe in what we do and believe in what we can achieve. I have been dreaming with this opportunity for so many years, however because of many circumstances I could not afford it before. I have been learning and working with Reliability Services since I graduated from college in Venezuela. I feel so grateful to know that now I have the opportunity to take the ISO Category I and II and the MIBoC Certificate Examinations."
-Edicson Santiago Bonilla Diaz, Eastway Technical Consultants, Ireland
Rebecca Nolan, USA
"This scholarship will allow me to pursue my dream of becoming a predictive maintenance manager. I also one day hope to teach vibration courses because I enjoy the subject matter so much. Thank you so much for the opportunity."
