Engineering student stories
Liam Green's engineering project
Liam, a Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical) with Honours student, engineered a reliable and non-invasive core temperature "smart watch" that could help determine the health of a person.
Hannah Price's engineering project
Hannah, a Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical) with Honours student, is working towards improving our ability to collect and interpret ice core data which could help predict the future climate of our planet.
Alex Pointon's engineering project
Alex, a Bachelor of Science and Engineering (Electrical and Electronics) with Honours student, developed a method that could allow oyster farmers measure their oyster population rapidly and help them analyze their practices and improve their oyster's rate of growth.
Nathan McKillop's engineering project
Nathan, a Bachelor of Science and Engineering (Electrical Power) with Honours student, investigated methods to help detect faults in the power grid. This could help electricity companies find faults in their system to ensure that electric vehicles in the future will always be fully charged and ready to go the next day.
Adam Alexander's engineering project
Adam, a Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical) with Honours student, engineered an affordable and easier to use electrically powered hydrofoil surfboard.
