Design and build competitions
Tuesday through Friday of the first week of Semester 1
is devoted to a design and build competition involving
all undergraduate and postgraduate students in the
School. The students are divided into about 25 groups
of up to 10 students in each
(2 or 3 from each year of the course and a postgraduate
student as a group leader). There are cash prizes for the
best performing device and the best overall project.
Lectures are given on group dynamics and project management
as well as on the principles of operation of the device
to be designed and built. Your organisation can be involved
by providing professional engineers as mentors for a few
hours during the week. We believe that this exercise will
improve the coporate culture in the School as well
as enhancing the practical and communication skills of students.
