Workshop
Intelligent Soft Robots Design
What do mechanical engineers do and in which industries are they most in demand? Students will be introduced to mechanical engineering and guided to design an intelligent soft robot. They will also experience a series of laboratory exercises and workshops that a typical engineering undergraduate at Monash would encounter.

Miniature Marvels: Renewable Fuel-Powered Engines
Students will work collaboratively to disassemble and reassemble a mini engine, learning about the functions of each component and how they interact within the engine’ s operating system. They will also experiment with a demonstration mini jet engine and a mini engine model, gaining firsthand experience with different engine types and their applications.
Monash-Constructionarium
Discover the future tenets of the construction industry through hands-on laboratory, practice, and modelling exercises. The session may cover one or more sub-specialisations in civil engineering, such as structures and materials, geotechnical engineering, water and environmental engineering, traffic and transportation engineering, and construction management.

Reactor Design Workshop
Students will fabricate a mini floating photobioreactor using acrylic plates, with a focus on its floating capability and mixing performance. They will have the freedom to design the internal structure by orienting the baffles in various ways.
Servo Control Challenge
This hands-on workshop guides students to tune the performance of a motor( a simple, yet important device that is used in almost all engineering systems such as robots, and aircraft), to achieve performances that can prevent collisions and motion sickness.
Superhydrophobic Water Repellent Coating
This session demonstrates how simple hydropbobic nano-coating can be fabricated and its waterproofing effect. Students will observe how nanotechnology can be applied to change the characteristics of surfaces, enabling engineers to design and functionalise material properties accordingly.
Virtual Chemical Plant Tour
Visit a chemical engineering process plant virtually and learn general safety skills in the process plant.
Wind-Powered Robot
In this workshop, students will work in groups to assemble a mechanical robot that moves using wind power.
