INSPIRING PRESENTATIONS FROM KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

All speakers are industry professionals who share our passion for an innovative and sustainable engineering future.

HANDS-ON WORKSHOPS

A variety of diverse and engaging workshops demonstrate a general engineering process of problem definition, idea generation, and implementation. These activities range from building structural towers to designing a sanitary water supply, and teach key messages such as the importance of teamwork, and can even relate to global issues.

NETWORKING LUNCH

Students are provided with morning tea and lunch. Speakers and event organisers will encourage discussions with the students. This is a great time to ask questions one-on-one with your favourite engineer.

REAL-WORLD SITE TOURS OR INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE

Local construction or operation sites are explored. On-site engineers provide details of their duties and various operational equipment processes are explained.

In the case where a site tour is not available, the site comes to the classroom! Students are split into different engineering discipline teams, where roles and responsibilities are explored and finally – the students put their “hard hats” on, and help solve a real-life problem scenario.
