Preferred venue
BIM model and VR Walkthrough
In this immersive experience, students will virtually explore a building before construction begins. This technology helps stakeholders visualise and validate design choices, and see a realistic preview of the final product.
1 hour TBC Classroom
Binary Coded Decimal to 7-Segment Decoder
Get hands-on with this introductory workshop on electronic circuits. Students will be guided to build a decoder circuit on a breadboard that will allow the display of a 1-bit binary number in decimal on a 7-segment LED display. The decoder circuit will implement the required combinational logic using a NOT logic gate available in the form of an integrated circuit.
( Jun, Nov or Dec, six-week advance notification required)
2 hours

Biodiesel Production
Learn about sustainable biofuel production from vegetable oil at Monash’ s pilot plant, which is used to produce biodisel from waste oil. Students will observe the process in the glass reactor, and tour the lab’ s analytical instruments used to evaluate the quality of fuel produced.
Bioprocessing of Recombinant Proteins
Explore how engineers operate the key instruments and analytical tools used in the bioproduction of valuable chemicals and compounds via recombinant technology.
N / A 1 hour 15
N / A 1 hour 10
Chemical Engineering Car( Chem-E Car)
Chem-E Car is a shoe box-sized car, which is powered and stopped by chemical reactions. Students will observe how Chem-E cars carry a certain load of water for a specified distance, hit a golf ball into a goal post or a set of bowling pins and stop autonomously.
( Six-week advance notification required)
1 – 1.5 hours
40 Chemicals, lab utensils, track for shoe-box sized car
Classroom
Civil Engineering Futures
Discover innovative solutions in construction materials, systems, and technologies that will be disrupting and shaping the civil engineering, the oldest engineering discipline, in the coming decades.
Computer Aided Design
Learn basic computer aided design skills with Solidworks software, and design a key chain that can be 3D printed.
FiltVRation
Gain a basic understanding of wastewater filtration using conventional sand filters through hands-on experiments. Students will construct a sand filter bed, observe the filtration process using a model filter bed, and take a virtual reality( VR) tour of a typical wastewater treatment facility.
Gait Lab Challenge
Explore technologies that are used to study and analyse human motion and posture.
Hydrogen Production from Water Splitting
Watch how water is split into hydrogen and oxygen under light irradiation. Students will learn all about the new technology that can produce hydrogen, a clean fuel, directly from water.
