An Engineering Link Project is a two-day event for Year 10, 11 and 12 students who are interested in finding out what engineering REALLY is!

All students will participate in two full-day workshops in different engineering disciplines.  Each workshop is designed to challenge your creativity, your knowledge of the maths and science you are learning at school, and introduce you to the engineering paradigm.

Disciplines could include (but are not limited to):

• Civil and Structural Engineering
• Robotics
• Electrical Engineering
• Mechanical Engineering
• Mechatronics Engineering
• Environmental Engineering

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

During the two days, students will also experience UTS Engineering by working in labs and getting a feel for university life.    You will also work with undergraduate UTS engineers, whom you can talk with and ask questions about studying at UTS.
