Engineering & Design Yr12 Taster Day at Flinders

Flinders University is inviting you to participate in an exclusive and exciting Engineering & Design Event!

• who: Yr 12 students

• when: 9.30am-1.30pm WTuesday July 9th

• where: Flinders University, City Campus

• why: to give you close-up opportunities and hands-on experiences in different areas of Engineering and Design, so that you can make the right decision regarding your future studies and career

• what: participate in these workshops:

• Biomedical Engineering: Come on a behind the scenes tour of the amazing Biomedical Engineering laboratories at Tonsley!! See where our world-class research gets conducted every day. From rehabilitation and motion capture facilities to state-of-the-art brain signals laboratories – come see what makes Biomedical Engineering research tick at Tonsley! Bring any and all questions…
• Civil Engineering: Break some concrete! Civil engineers build a sustainable future - buildings, roads and transport systems. This interactive session will expose you to sustainable construction materials. And you will get up and close with their strength, load capacity and sustainability.
• Environmental Engineering: Build a Green City! Learn about carbon emissions and build a green city with a sustainable energy source, food source, transportation, and living space. Make the right decisions, manage your budget, minimise environmental impact, and you’ll be in the running to win a prize!
• Design: Lighten Up! In this introduction to 3D Digital CAD Design, you will utilize Parametric Computer Aided Design CAD Modelling (Autodesk INVENTOR and FUSION 360), discuss the power of CAD and Design Engineering, and create the artifacts of our lives. There will be demonstrations of the CURA splicer program and Ulti Maker 2+ 3D Printer technology, used to create a home lighting structure.
• Mechanical Engineering: Hear about real-world applications of shape memory alloys and how NASA reinvented the wheel! You will experiment with and see how you can use a spring made out of a shape memory alloy as a “muscle” to lift a weight!
• Robotics Engineering & Electrical and Electronic Engineering: Meet and control a robot! You will also learn how robotic systems work and can ask any questions about AI and machine intelligence.

• tour the state-of-the-art specialised facilities and laboratories that Engineering & Design students use at Tonsley

• ride the Flinders Motorsport Racing Simulator

• find out what it’s like studying at Flinders

• speak with current students

• get your questions answered by lecturers, academics, and researchers

• join a Q&A panel session and learn about: possible pathways, prerequisites, career & job opportunities, business & industry connections, work experience, and much more

• and…….. lunch will be provided
