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 which are environmentally sustainable, reliable and economically sound. With a solid knowledge base and wide set of life skills, 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.

Who Put the Civil in Civilisation
How did engineers and engineering technology affect the development of human civilisation? Where are we now and what will future civilisations look like? Where would society be without safe homes and buildings or without an effective transport system? Learn about how our civilisation depends on civil and mining engineers and about their developing role in modern society.

A Career in Chemical or Pharmaceutical Engineering
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, […]

Pigs, Foam and Fishing – The Life of a Petroleum Engineer
Oil and gas occur in the tiny spaces between grains of rock, often three to four kilometres below the surface of the earth or sea floor. Have you ever thought about the problem of figuring out where it is, how much is there, how to get it out and what its worth? This is the job of a petroleum engineer. Petroleum engineers earn a fantastic income, travel the world, and work on interesting, multi-million dollar projects. They use leading-edge technology, such as computer simulations and 3D virtual reality, to solve the many challenges of getting natural resources out of the earth.

A Look Inside Your Digital Camera – Dr Matthew Sorell
After thirty years of development, digital cameras really took off in 2003 and since have managed to all but wipe out film cameras. The multi-billion dollar digital camera industry is founded on enormous advances in optical sensors, micro-motors, displays, system-on-chip integration, data compression, memory devices, high efficiency energy storage and human-machine interaction. In this talk we take a look inside the digital camera and show how this one device relates to studies in electronics, computer systems, telecommunications, avionics and sustainable energy. We also look at some of the emerging applications and challenges in law enforcement and security. You won’t believe what we can find out about you.

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.
