New Engineering Undergraduates get a taste of Industry
The Faculty of Engineering has recently introduced a new subject, ENGG101 Foundations of Engineering, that assists all new Faculty of Engineering undergraduate students in developing their skills in fundamental engineering topics such as solid mechanics and fluid mechanics. Included in a range of hands-on activities the students construct model bridges and test hydraulic systems in a way that brings the theories to life.
As an integral part of this subject all the students recently visited the Bluescope Steelworks to see some of the largest machines and most exciting large scale processes in the world. After orientation and safety instruction at the Australia’s Industry World visitors centre the students saw close up the massive Bluescope Steel site including the BOS steelmaking plant, continuous slab caster and the hot rolling mills.
This field trip was made possible by generous financial support from
