Gold Coast Site Visit

From 6th – 8th October 2011, 13 female students from a range of disciplines across the Faculty of Engineering and Built Environment took part in a visit to the Gold Coast.

Students toured Carlton Brewery at Yatala and attended the offices of Rapid Transit for a presentation on the Gold Coast Light Rail Project, after which they were taken to inspect a site along the route.

The trip was a great opportunity for female engineering students to meet, socialise and develop support networks, visit operational sites and gain industry insights, as well as gain a better understanding of how a major project works, how different disciplines are interconnected and how professionals from diverse disciplines work together to achieve project goals.
