Civil engineers build and maintain the big things in life – roads, bridges, tunnels, houses, offices, shopping and residential complexes, water and sanitation systems and other infrastructure. It is one of the oldest engineering disciplines, but at UTS, you can learn about civil engineering and its applications in a modern context. Find out what Civil Engineering is all about and what it’s like studying the course at UTS.

Engineering at UTS - The Difference
Time: 11:30am-12noon
Location: Building 10, Level 2, Room 470
From our internship programs to our practice-based approach to learning, find out what makes UTS:Engineering stand out from the rest and why so many industry professionals want to employ UTS:Engineering graduates.

Electrical Engineering
Time: 12noon-12:30pm
Location: Building 10, Level 2, Room 470
Electrical engineers deal with the application of electricity, from small circuitry to high-voltage power generation and supply networks. With traditional power generation at the centre of the global warming problem, electrical engineers are now at the forefront of developing renewable energy systems and super-efficient electrical devices which will reduce our energy demands. Find out what Electrical Engineering is all about and what it's like studying the course at UTS.

Women in Engineering and IT
Time: 12:30-1:00pm
Location: Building 10, Level 2, Room 470
Women in Engineering and IT (WiE&IT) is a dedicated Program within the Faculty providing support, mentoring and development opportunities for female engineering and IT students. Hear about this Program, and learn about how it networks with schools, students and collaborates with industry and the professions.

Biomedical Engineering
Time: 1:00pm-1:30pm
Location: Building 2, Level 4, Room 10
Biomedical engineering requires specific and specialised education at a high level. Students undertake foundation studies in biology, medical science, engineering and information technology enabling them to specialise in areas such as biomedical instrumentation and devices, biomedical signal and image processing, biomechanics and bioinformatics. Find out what Biomedical Engineering is all about and what it's like studying the course at UTS.

Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering
Time: 1:00pm-1:30pm
Location: Building 10, Level 2, Room 470
Mechanical and mechatronics engineers work with moving things (or systems), and the advanced electronics that drive them. This major is a combination of mechanical, electronics, computer systems and software engineering, and you will learn to design and build not only mechanical systems, but also their controllers, software and hardware, electronic processes and the networks which link them. Find out what Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering is all about and discover what it’s like studying the course at UTS.

ICT - Software, Computer Systems and Telecommunications Engineering
Time: 2:00pm-2:30pm
Location: Building 10, Level 2, Room 470
From Communication Systems to hardware and software programs, the ICT Engineering major will teach you to work with software, hardware and systems on a grand scale and with an engineer's analytical approach. Learn how ICT enables you to design, build, develop and manage anything from commercial networks right up to advanced military or transport applications, industrial automation, robotics, aviation, telemetry and satellite systems. Find out what ICT is all about and learn more about studying the course at UTS.
 

UTS:Engineering Open Day Activities

UTS Motorsports: Full Throttle
Time: On all day, with Dynamic Demonstrations on the hour, every hour, from 10am to 3pm
Location: Jones St Fair
UTS Motorsports is a team of UTS students with one thing in common: the need for speed. They are a top Sydney team competing in the Formula SAE Australasia competition, an international design competition to create the fastest formula-style, open-wheeled race cars. Built and designed by students, these cars make the cut for competing on the international circuit. This is your chance to meet the team behind the wheels and view the cars up so close you can smell the rubber. The SAE car will be on display all day, but come along to these sessions to see it in action!

Rescue Robotics
Time: All day
Location: Building 10 Atrium
Robots that search for human life in natural disaster areas inaccessible to humans might seem like an idea out of a movie, but they're real and currently being researched and refined at UTS. Come and meet some of the robots and speak to the students and staff developing and controlling them.

RoboAssist - A lesson in Human-Robot Interaction
Time: All day
Location: Building 10 Atrium
Human-robot interaction is the study of interactions between humans and robots. Engineers at UTS are using a combination of design, psychology and behavioural sciences to better understand this "relationship", using robots to provide solutions to some real human problems in today's society.

Playground Safety: see the UTS Engineering “Head Dropper”
Time: All day
Location: Building 10 Atrium
What would happen if you fell headfirst from two metres in the air? Come and find out how engineering is used to test the safety of playground surfaces using the “Head Dropper”. This display offers an insight into the UTS Research Centre for Intelligent Mechatronic Systems – a cutting-edge research area exploring the physiological and psychological aspects of human-machine and human-environment interaction.
