We are proud to continue to be associated with CQUniversity, and are excited to present the Central Queensland Engineering Link Project again in 2023. Following on from the success of the single-day workshops in 2021 and 2022 at other events, we aim to provide an exceptional engineering experience while ensuring that all relevant and required COVID-19 conditions are met.

For 2023, the Engineering Link Project will be a one-day event on Saturday 17 June 2023 for Year 10, 11 and 12 students who are interested in finding out what engineering REALLY is!

Everyone will participate in two workshops in different engineering disciplines. Each workshop is designed to challenge your creativity and knowledge of maths and science.

A professional engineer will outline their career and what a day in the life of an engineer is, then present you with a problem or scenario that you will have to solve in teams. You will test materials, complete design calculations, and submit a proposal. If approved, you will construct your solution. The engineer will evaluate each solution against the criteria and provide constructive feedback.

Participants can choose from up to 4 different activities, each providing unique and valuable insights into this exciting career.

At lunchtime, participants will have the opportunity to speak to visiting engineers in small groups. This opportunity is unique and provides valuable insights into the life of an engineer.

Students will also experience CQUniversity Engineering by working in labs and getting a feel for university life. This is worth the price of admission on its own.

Registration is from 8.00 am at the Engineering Building at CQU Rockhampton, and the event starts at 8.30 am. The event concludes at 4 pm.

Quotes from 2021 Participants:

The thing I found most valuable was learning how to think like an engineer and the types of skills used in it

Really fun and I want to come back next year

I loved working with industry professionals and gaining insight into their experiences and stories of how they got into the field they are in.
