Big Issues In Education

Interactive presentation where students debate prominent issues in education philosophy which are key to teaching practice.

Sound Through Light Electronics

Students investigate some properties of light and sound waves by building an electronic circuit that allows them to emit signals with an LED and receive those signals using a small solar panel. Students need to bring along a device for playing music that has a standard audio jack (e.g. mp3 player or smart phone).

Water Wheels, Hydroelectric Turbine Design

A village in Nepal needs a new power source. As an engineer, it's your job to build a hydroelectric turbine that can harness the kinetic energy in the nearby river and provide the electricity they need!

Visit our cutting-edge Civil Engineering teaching lab and use the industrial flume to test your team's creation. 

Zumo Robot Programming

Jump into our first year engineering labs and learn about digital electronics by programming a simple Arduino-based Zumo Robot using the C+ language suite
