South Queensland Engineering Link Project 2022

Event Phone: 07 3102 7394

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

For 2022, the Engineering Link Project will be a one-day event 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, 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 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 team.

Students can choose from up to 6 different disciplines over the two sessions, providing unique and valuable insights into this exciting career.  Students will be asked to make preference selections closer to the event, via email.

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

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.
