The Malta College for Culture and the Arts needs more of a female touch, according to electronic engineering graduate Anne Marie Cachia.

During her graduation speech at the final round of Mcast graduations yesterday, Ms Cachia spoke of her experience in a predominantly male environment, where the mentality was that engineering was a subject for men.

She said it was positive that more and more girls were joining engineering courses, saying the field offered "exciting opportunities" for men and women alike.

Ms Cachia complained that due to the intensive nature of the course, students couldn't make the most of the sophisticated apparatus present on campus; however with the new degree, she said, they could now use this apparatus to understand and deepen their grasp of the subject.

Mcast governor Paul A. Attard said the college was there to give service - to students, industry and the country, highlighting the student-centric approach adopted by the college.
