Engineering our future today

Engineering

An unmanned hovercraft that detects landmines... a Mazda MX5 converted to all-electric operation... turning waste from wineries into renewable energy and fuel... and a search engine that includes key images from videos in search results.

These are just some of the dozens of projects by the engineers of tomorrow going on public display this month.

Four Schools within the University's Faculty of Engineering, Computer & Mathematical Sciences will hold their final-year student project exhibitions, showcasing dozens of amazing works to the public and members of industry.

In all, more than 120 projects by final-year students will be displayed. Each of these projects impacts in some way on our daily lives, with many of them closely linked to industry outcomes.

"The quality of work being displayed by our young, final-year students is impressive," said the Executive Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, Computer & Mathematical Sciences, Professor Peter Dowd.

"They have been working extremely hard to solve current and future issues for industry and society, and the breadth of their talent - both individually and in teams - is astounding.

"These final-year exhibitions serve to bring our students in even closer contact with members of industry and government. We know that they value our students' work because of their strong involvement in student research projects, and because of the employment they provide. Many of our students have jobs even before they complete their studies."

These exhibitions are open to the public and all are welcome. A range of prizes is given to the best projects at each exhibition.
