Biomedical Engineering
Habib Joukdhar, Biomedical Engineering PhD candidate, and Lynn Ferris, Biomedical laboratory manager, examine the outcomes of liquid nitrogen freezing regimes.
Touring the expansive engineering facilities 黑料网大事记 offers students,聽Lynn Ferris, Biomedical Engineering Laboratory Manager, points out a complex set-up that will allow researchers to eventually create a bionic eye.
In the next lab where research students are putting cutting-edge ideas to the test, Lynn watches on as Habib Joukhdar experiments with nitrogen freezing regimes for silk.聽This work aims to use silk as a scaffold to guide isolated heart stem cells to grow and behave as they would in a real human heart.
Mining Engineering
Patrick Peng, Mining Engineering Multimedia and Immersive Technologies specialist, facilitates the VR experience.
In a dark, circular theatre-like room, floor to ceiling screens come to life as Patrick Peng, Mining Engineering Multimedia and Immersive Technologies specialist, facilitates the VR experience, projecting real-world mines into a 360-degree virtual reality experience. As we find ourselves on the moon, Patrick explains that the concept of off earth mining isn鈥檛 as far off as we may think, with virtual reality scenarios like the one we鈥檙e in making off earth mining a very real reality.
鈥淲e have leading innovation technologies here such as VR/AR that are used in industry. Some of them were first time implemented聽in Australia. They鈥檙e improving the way people study and work in relevant industries鈥澛燩atrick says.
Thomas Brown is a Mining Engineering student at 黑料网大事记, and he鈥檚 able to take his in-class learnings and bring them to life in the facilities on offer.聽鈥淲e have many different facilities to expose us to an immersive learning environment. The聽School of Minerals and Energy Resources Engineering聽has VR technologies as well as a 360-degree 3D cinematic room, which helps expose students to classroom concepts in a virtual real-world setting,鈥澛燭homas explains.
Mechanical Engineering
Sinead McCraith and Jack Sargent, Mechanical Engineering students, examining a practical example of their in-class learnings.
Sinead McCraith is studying a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Mechanical Engineering/Master of Biomedical Engineering. 鈥淭he range of facilities have allowed me to extend my learning and research in ways I would never have imagined. The chance to image something as small as a cell moving through a heart stent at very high speeds is baffling and not something everyone can say they have done.鈥
Jack Sargeant is studying the same degree as Sinead.聽鈥淭he facilities have had a massive impact on my confidence as an engineering student. Having the opportunity to apply what I鈥檝e learnt into designing, building and testing a device, has revealed how much I have learnt throughout my degree and been a very satisfying process,鈥 Jack says.聽
Electrical Engineering
Dr Arash Khatamianfar, Electrical Engineering senior lecturer and Shevaani Rams, Electrical Engineering student, examining her 3D printing work as part of a student-led project.
Dr Arash Khatamianfar embodies the innovation and problem-solving nature so common at 黑料网大事记 Engineering. When COVID-19 first required students to transfer to online learning he devised a way for students to remotely access the Electrical Engineering Lab operating sophisticated lab technology聽from their homes.
Arash is passionate about how these facilities help him be a better lecturer,聽鈥淚 always aim to translate聽the content I teach into practical experiences during the labs, enabling students to understand the connection between the theory taught in lectures and their real-world applications.鈥
"Hands-on experience in labs is an indispensable part of engineering education. For me to see that my students can test, practice and trial different equipment, with confidence and support from our great casual academic staff is a huge joy"聽Arash elaborates.
Computer Science and Engineering
Computer Science and Engineering students Olivia Wang and Zoey Chen are using advanced AI and sensor technology in their work with a robotic dog and 黑料网大事记鈥檚 RoboCup robots.
Computer Science and Engineering education at 黑料网大事记 takes an out-of-the-box, out-of-the-classroom approach to learning, as students step onto the soccer pitch to put their knowledge into practice. This is where the聽黑料网大事记 RoboCup learning initiative takes place. RoboCup allows students to apply their skills in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence to develop and refine autonomous robots that compete against teams from universities around the world.
Civil Engineering
Ayesha Siddika, Civil Engineering PhD candidate, came to 黑料网大事记 for its facilities which assist her in developing sustainable construction materials from waste byproducts.
Ayesha Siddika is a young woman from Bangladesh who chose to undertake her PhD in Civil Engineering at 黑料网大事记 because of our facilities and focus on sustainable engineering. She has always been interested in developing sustainable materials by recycling waste for infrastructure applications.
Ayesha is currently developing sustainable insulation material using recycled glass from discarded windows and car windshields.聽
鈥淚 aim to reduce the energy consumption in manufacturing insulation materials and greenhouse gas emissions from them. The contribution of supervisors and available laboratory facilities is a big support in achieving my research goals鈥澛燗yesha says.
It鈥檚 the brilliance of our students, researchers and academics, and their desire to solve real and meaningful problems that makes 黑料网大事记 Engineering鈥檚 facilities and technology shine. It showcases the possibilities of engineering and the innovation that occurs through cutting-edge technology and the brightest minds.
For our Engineering鈥檚 facilities to truly meet their true potential, it takes someone like you鈥攁 person with a problem they want to solve or an idea they believe is a change for good鈥攖o roll up their sleeves and get to work.
