On September 24, over 1200 Year 10 to 12 Physics students across WA high schools descended upon Adventure World to attend the annual Physics Day organised by STAWA (Science Teachers’ Association of Western Australia). It was an educational day filled with fun and action packed. Students got to experience and witness first-hand phenomena involving physics, technology, engineering design and mathematics in a “real world” STEM laboratory that can be found at Adventure World with its large scale apparatus.
In the fields of engineering and technology, the School of Engineering is has achieved a 5-Star Rating across four criteria in the Good Universities Guide 2021 edition:
A team of five staff and PhD students visited Thornlie High School, delivering two exciting activities designed specifically by the School of Engineering as part of their STEM program called CREATE – Creating Real Engineering And Technology Experiences. The event was attended by over 100 students from Year 7 to Year 10, including participation by teachers
As part of the School’s continuous commitment to support teaching and learning in the community, the School recently donated 30 computers to Fountain College.
The competition was open to all Australian university students and our two students are the only WA university winners. Engineering Village (Compendex) covers high-quality, relevant and cross-disciplinary content, enabling engineers and researchers to perform thorough and effective literature reviews, analyse the research landscape, and solve problems.
The build-up of calcium in a major artery outside of the heart could predict future heart attack or stroke, a new Edith Cowan University led study has demonstrated.
