Join our expert academic staff who will guide your students through a series of hands-on workshops, including:
Introduction to Automation
An in-depth look at how technology has and continues to revolutionise our thriving manufacturing industry. The picking up and moving of components and products, assembly, and testing often make use of automated machines. Intelligent systems utilise sensors to understand their environment, make informed decisions, and perform tasks. This is a hands-on session, but also conveys the exciting career opportunities available in this field.
Introduction to Design and Digital Workflow
From concept to reality, students will get a flavour of how engineers can take an idea or set of design instructions and by making use of CAD software and a modern-day digital workflow, see how these ideas can be visualised in virtual reality and turned into actual objects and products which can be manufactured in their thousands.
Engineering, The Universe and Beyond
An engaging talk from our academics that looks at engineering as a professional occupation. Students will take part in the conversation and debate some of the challenges and opportunities that exist. The fine balance of achieving technological developments and advancing quality of life while maintaining a healthy lifestyle for humankind and the planet will also be explored.
