Warman Design and Building Project
As part of their second year course Mechanical Engineering Practice N, students take part in the Warman Design and Building Project. This project requires students to design and build a device that follows specific requirements. The group of students with the best device then compete at the national Warman Finals which are held in Sydney each year.
This year the team representing UniSA came second out of the 15 teams that entered in the competition from all over Australia and New Zealand. Beating both Adelaide and Flinders University in the process.
They also won the judges design award which was additional to the second place prize. The judges were all from Weir minerals including executive and senior engineers.
Congratulations to Travis Smith, Phillip Skelton and Dean Murray on their great achievement!
"Best Paper award"
Congratulations to Dr Yousef Amer, Dr Diana Quinn and Ms Anne Lonie for winning Best Paper at the Ascilite Conference held in Tasmania.
Details of the paper titled "Leading Change: Applying change management approaches to engage students in blended learning" are below:
The Australian National University (ANU) and the University of South Australia (UniSA) have embarked on Federally-funded project to collaborate in the design, development and delivery of a range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses in engineering. The collaboration investigates new ways to bring together the strengths and discipline expertise of each institution to the students of both universities, utilising blended teaching and learning approaches. The collaboration brings much change - at the organisational level in the blending of programs, at the staff level in their approaches to teaching and at the students' level in their approaches and engagement with cross-institutional blended learning. This paper focuses on how change management principles were used to guide a systematic approach to engaging students into the learning culture associated with the Engineering Hubs and Spokes Project's theme - 'Advanced Collaboration for Excellence'.
