Engineering
The Civil Engineering
Experience will encompass activities that will engage students
in all aspects of the industry and in particular real world projects.
This will include geotechnical and structural engineering, construction
materials, computer drawing and modelling, water and hydraulics,
and land surveying. The activities will involve both theory and
significant practical aspects of the amazing world of civil engineering
and its role in society.
> Chemistry
Investigate the chemical transformations of elements, make glass,fires,
explosives, industrial analysis, plastics and recycling.
> Computer
Engineering
Do you think the world wide web is all about
Twitter and Trademe? Come along and find out what else
you can do on the Internet.
> Driving
Simulation
We will
research how technology aids such as computer controlled anti-lock
brakes, stability control and traction control feel to a car driver.
Using a race-car sourced data-logger (MoTec) data from a driving
simulator will be analysed to research the effects of participants
driving style on tyre wear, fuel economy and speed. This research
will be carried out on six desktop workstations with Momo and Logitech
force feedback wheels, pedals and gear shifters.
A driver's license is not essential but would be helpful.
> Electronic
Engineering
Construct the circuit (with soldering
iron), make sure it works and then start serious playtime. You
don't even have to remember your best score. The system does that
for you.
> Food Technology
Food manufacturing,
packaging and analysis. A close up look at the
way some foods behave and an opportunity to make
your own personal brand of cheese.
>
Haemotology
Find out about medical laboratory science as a
career. Investigate some of the techniques used in hospital laboratories and
learn how to do a blood group analysis.
> Marine
Ecology
A close-up encounter with some of the sea creatures from around
Auckland. Learn about the lives of some interesting organisms and
find out more about the fast
growing world of aquaculture.
> Mechatronics
Introduction to Robotic: Using the RoboExp robot car. In
this session you will have a close encounter with our Robo-Express robot car.
Discover how to programme the cars using a block-diagram programming tool. Configure
the robot to use a number of sensors to detect and avoid obstacles, and be able
to find and follow a path.
> Medical
Science & Human Measurement
Investigate human anatomy and physiology.
Try some dissections. Try out a number of machines and apparatus
used to measure human body function.
