That means understanding everything from hardware, chips, circuits, processors and storage, to programming languages and theory. “Computer science requires computer programming but it’s possible to learn how to program, and be good at it, without a foundation in computer science,” says engineering manager Stefania Sicurelli. She studied art, worked in animation, then learnt programming and computer science through web development boot camps. “Just like driving a car, you can make a computer do things without fully understanding what’s happening under the bonnet.

Home to more than 70 businesses, including start-ups, and now attracting about 1000 workers and 6500 students annually, the site is being developed as a collaborative working and living space for students, researchers and businesses. German optical and optoelectronics firm Zeiss will move from Lonsdale to Tonsley in April next year, taking up the largest spot — about 4000sq m — under what’s known as the Main Assembly Building. Siemens, Signostics, Micro-X, Flinders University, TAFE SA, Zen Energy Systems, Radical Torque Solutions and the State Drill Core Reference Library are on site. Retail food outlets and cafes are also on site — but there is more room to grow. The growth has followed a $253 million investment commitment by the State Government to redevelop the automotive manufacturing site formerly used by Chrysler and Mitsubishi.
