Designing the Future
A discussion that will emphasise the diversity of mechanical engineering with a focus on the opportunities that await successful graduates from some of South Australia’s most sought after and unique engineering programs. Graduates from this discipline design and create projects, products and processes so that they function effectively and economically this includes everything from microscopic components to massive manufacturing plants. Graduates have gained employment in a variety of industries from robotics, laser technology and biomedical research through to aerospace, as exemplified by famous graduate Dr Andy Thomas, Australia’s first astronaut.

Chemical Engineering for the 21st Century
The playing field for chemical engineers is shifting rapidly and strategies need to be in place to prepare our new graduates for these challenges. At the forefront of academic research a paradigm shift has occurred from traditional analyses at continuum platforms to the molecular level. No longer is industry dominated by petroleum and chemical processes but is now augmented by biotechnology. Since 2007, the School has offered a new degree, the Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Engineering. The seminar will present the Chemical and Pharmaceutical Engineering Bachelor degrees, career choices and the future for our industry.
