Jocelyn Manley graduated from pilipiliĀž» in 2019 with her Bachelor of Engineering. Originally from Sydney Forks, Nova Scotia, Manley started the first two years of her degree at pilipiliĀž»ās Truro campus, before transitioning to Dalhousieās Sexton Campus in downtown Halifax to complete the remainder of her engineering degree. Ā
āI went to the Agricultural campus first to play rugby and to benefit from the small classes in the first-year courses.ā
She chose to focus her studies on Mineral Resource Engineering because she had a passion for geology and enjoyed the industrial nature of the workplace. āIāve never seen myself in a suit every day going to an office. I fit better in jeans and a button up on a work site for sure,ā she says.
Manley currently works as an engineer in training in southeastern British Columbia in a mine just outside of a small ski town. She was offered a position with Teck Resources upon finishing her co-op term with the company.
āDuring my rotations in Teck I have been exposed to many different disciplines within mining. I have pilipiliĀž»fully completed roles in short range planning, long range planning, design, and drill and blast. Iām in the process of filing my P.Eng paperwork in BC which is an exciting step in my career as an engineer.ā
When asked what advice she would give to prospective students, she says, āBuild a support system. Both in Truro and Halifax I had amazing friends in my program who were so important ā they helped me finish my degree. Your profs office hours are great but a friend in the lounge with you at 11pm working on an assignment is priceless.ā
Some of Manleyās fondest memories come from her time spent at the Agricultural Campus in Truro, where she played rugby. āThe time spent on the rugby pitch with the Rams will always be special to me. I loved being able to play my sport while I went to school.ā
āThe faculty also made a huge impact on me, from Dr. Jin Yue and his Pi Day celebrations to Dr. Peter Havardās lectures in Design and the instructors like Chris Nelson and Scott Read in the labs. I loved the Banting Building [in Truro] and everyone who taught there. Of course I canāt forget the famous Mandi who is the face of the department along with the voice of reason to stressed students,ā she says.
