X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html: Engineer Your Future
An engineering experience day at QUT that will open your eyes to a possible career path in Engineering.
Considering a career in Engineering? \;
QUT in partnership with The Engineering Link Group\, Engineers Australia\, and Queensland Government through the Department of Transport and Main Roads \;to showcase engineering as it really is &ndash\; exciting\, challenging and world-changing. \;
Students in years 9 to 12 are invited to join us for this engineering experience day\, where students will participate in hands-on workshops from a range of different engineering disciplines all while connecting with professional engineers and QUT undergraduate engineering students. \;
When: Saturday 22 March
Time: 8am to 4pm
Where: QUT Garden Point campus
Cost: $60 per student (includes lunch)
Program:
| 8am | Registration |
| 8:30am | Welcome &\; Guest Speakers |
| 9:30am | Workshop 1 |
| 12pm | Lunch |
| 1pm | Workshop 2 |
| 3:30pm | Closing Ceremony |
\;
Year 9 and 10 registration. \;SOLD OUT
Year 11 and 12 registration.
On the day students will participate in two hands-on engineering workshops. The workshops will bring together the fundamental concepts within each discipline\, as well as expose participants to common engineering concepts. \;
Year 9 and 10 workshops will include:
- Aerospace Engineering - design a ejection seat parachute for a modern military aircraft to ensure pilots land safely. \;
- Medical Engineering - integrate engineering principles with human physiology to design and prototype a innovative medical device to improve the lives of many. \;
- Civil Engineering - design\, construct and load test a bridge for Brisbane&rsquo\;s next green bridge project. \;
- Mechatronic Engineering: over the course of the full day\, design\, construct and code (Python) a robotic arm to carry out a rescue mission and rescue a worker from danger. This workshop is a full day workshop\, students will complete the workshop over the two workshop sessions.
- Electrical Engineering - explore how electrical equipment and software are connected\, build and program (Arduino) a circuit to complete the challenge. \;
Year 11 and 12 workshops will include:
- Civil Engineering - in a team design and construct a retaining wall that will be load tested\, how much can the wall endure before it crumbles.
- Mechatronic Engineering - program a line following robot to navigate the track and complete the challenges. A a basic understanding of the Python programming language is required for this workshop.
- Chemical Process Engineering - focus on the complex issue of gas transportation for the coal seam gas industry by designing the best solution for the project. \;
- Software and Electrical Engineering - discover the world of Go Cards by programming your own.
- Mechanical Engineering - design and build a &lsquo\;Rover&rsquo\; capable of operating in harsh environments like Mars. \;
- Engineering Mathematics - solve a crime through digital forenciscs using fundamental engineering skills and MATLAB. This workshop is suitable for students who are comfortable with script coding\, and studying Maths Methods and/or Specialist Maths as this workshop will utilise the prerequisite knowledge of matrices and arrays\, PEMDAS/BODMAS\, and functions and variables in coding.
