We are proud to continue to be associated with CQUniversity, and are excited to present the Central Queensland Engineering Link Project again in 2024. We aim to provide an exceptional engineering experience in a way that engages students in mathematics, science and engineering.

For 2024, the Engineering Link Project will be a one-day event on Saturday 8 June 2024 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 2023 Participants:

It helped me gain a better understanding of the whole engineering major and help me make up my mind on what I want to do after school

It was the best experience that I have ever had. It has made my future engineering pathways clear.

I was considering engineering as a career, and this event provided deep insight into the world of engineering and also showed how much fun engineering can be
