EngFest

High school students are invited to an Engineering Project Expo, lab tours and information session: ‘What is civil engineering? Studying engineering at Charles Sturt.’

We invite schools to join us at EngFest where students will get hands-on exciting STEM-based activities with civil engineering concepts that replicate real-world projects.

Senior high school and mature age students who are interested in studying engineering at Charles Sturt are welcome on join us for a presentation on what it’s like to study Engineering at Charles Sturt and our Careers Expo.

You will hear from current students about their cadetships in industry, meet academics and representatives of civil engineering industry at the expo where you can learn about the engineering courses and civil engineering career opportunities.

First year students showcase their humanitarian engineering designs for the Engineers Without Borders Challenge. Second year students present civil engineering projects developed for real clients, while senior and professional cadets summarise their design projects and research theses.

Charles Sturt Engineering values our close partnerships with the engineering industry, regionally and across Australia.

This event offers great opportunities to network with others in the civil engineering industry, academics and the engineers of the future and those interested in a career in engineering, including senior high school students.
