Engineering Students Showcase Innovation at Final Year Project Event
The School of Engineering’s Discipline of Aerospace, Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering (AMME) celebrated the creativity and technical excellence of its graduating students at the Final Year Project Event, held on Thursday 13 November at the Callaghan campus.
Hosted by University’s School of Engineering and supported by the Australian Government’s Trailblazer for Recycling and Clean Energy (TRaCE), the event brought together students, families, partners, and friends alongside industry representatives and members of the University’s Knowledge Exchange and Entrepreneurship (KEE) team. It provided a dynamic platform for students to present innovative solutions developed through intensive research, technical development, and real-world problem solving as part of their Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) degrees.
Industry partners were invited to share insights with students before touring the showcase, which featured more than 100 project posters across two buildings in the engineering precinct. Projects spanned aerospace systems, mechanical engineering, and mechatronics disciplines, highlighting the breadth of talent and ingenuity within the graduating cohort.
“Over 120 students presented innovative results from research projects, industry projects, and NU Teams. The quality was outstanding across the board, with strong and confident presentations. I am excited to see what our graduates will achieve in the wider world,” Associate Professor Thomas Fiedler said.
By welcoming local industry, high school teachers, and students, the School of Engineering continues to foster collaboration and inspire the next generation of engineers.
“It was a fantastic event, with strong attendance from industry, academic staff, students, and the local community,” said Sam Kirk, TRaCE Program Manager. “The level of interest and the quality of each project display was genuinely impressive.”
