ENGINEERING
Workshop
Miniature Marvels: Renewable Fuel-Powered Engines
Location( please select) Your school Monash
N / A
Duration
Maximum pax
2 hours 40
Equipment required
Preferred venue
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.
N / A 1.5 hours 25
One Man’ s Magic is Another Man’ s Engineering
This workshop introduces the different fields in engineering and highlights the impact of engineering on the future.
( Feb to Nov, six-week advance notification required)
N / A
1 – 1.5 hours
Unlimited
Computer with projector and a flip chart
Lecture theatre or classroom
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.
( one-month advance notification required)
1 – 2 hours 30
Classroom
Renewable Energy
Students will learn to measure and optimise energy output using solar, wind, and fuel cell technologies. The workshop includes a hands-on competition in which teams combine two energy sources to maximise the total power generation.
2 hours 20 Industrial( big) fans Classroom
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.
N / A 2 hours 40
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.
N / A 1 hour 10
Virtual Chemical Plant Detour
Visit a chemical engineering process plant virtually and learn general safety skills in the process plant.
N / A 1 – 2 hours 15
Wind-Powered Robot
In this workshop, students will work in groups to assemble a mechanical robot that moves using wind power.
