• Put your name here!

• You are engineers,
• you dont just WATCH engineers
• You will be actively involved in three different
  disciplines over three days.

3
An engineer talks about their profession, what
their discipline is all about, and then set up
the problem for the day!
4
You discuss the problem in your groups
5
You test your materials
6
At a set time you present your solution or
proposal to the engineer
7
Then you build your solution
8
and finally test them

Day 1 - Civil

• It was cool applying maths and physics to real
  experiments.
• Top stuff!.
• Lecturer was excellent.
• It was good. Lots of calculations.
• Very interesting! Complicated at first but that
  was overcome.
• I enjoyed this module a lot, as it was something
  I dont know about.

Day 1 - Electrical

• Was a good experience having professionals from
  Stanwell there to help with the experience.
• Once we got into it it was interesting.
• Was a very interesting subject, and I intend to
  pursue the career of an Electrical Engineer.

Day 2 - Mechanical

• I felt I had a great input and I achieved
  satisfaction today. It was EXCELLENT!
• I really enjoyed this task and the information.
  It most certainly explained many applications of
  maths and science.
• Task was very challenging but we came through in
  the end.

Cay 2 - Structural

• It was generally good and much was learned.
• I liked this one. It was fun.
• Showed the use of physics.

24
Day 3 Civil/Military

• This task was the best.
• It was really good to have Capt. Alex to talk, he
  was the best thing ever. Really enjoyable.

  be the best job in the world.
