Proudly hosted by UNSW, this is our fifth year in New South Wales.

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

And UNSW is picking up the TAB!  However, as this will mean demand will be great, you need to commit to attending for both days!

Everyone 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.

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 small teams.  You will test materials, complete design calculations and submit a proposal.  If approved, you will construction your solution.  The engineer will evaluate each solution against the criteria and declare the winning consortium.

Students can choose from 6 different disciplines over the two days, providing a unique and valuable insight into this exciting career.

During the two days, students will also experience UNSW Engineering, working in labs and getting a feel for university life.

From outside Sydney?

Supervised twin-share accommodation is provided in a location close to UNSW (venue to be confirmed).  Students will be escorted to and from the university each day, and fully supervised by qualified teachers in the evening.  An extra nights’ accommodation (before the event) is also available (at an extra cost).  The price includes breakfast (for each night’s accommodation).  Students will be escorted to a local shopping centre for dinner (lots of different choices).
