Designing the Future

1s · Open Day Information Sessions · 23 Sep 06:26

A discussion that will emphasise the diversity of mechanical engineering with a focus on the opportunities that await successful graduates from some of South Australia’s most sought after and unique engineering programs. Graduates from this discipline design and create projects, products and processes which are environmentally sustainable, reliable and economically sound. With a solid knowledge base and wide set of life skills, graduates have gained employment in a variety of industries from robotics, laser technology and biomedical research through to aerospace, as exemplified by famous graduate Dr Andy Thomas, Australia’s first astronaut.
