Civil Engineering

Time: 12.45pm
Location: H5-02 Bradley Forum

Civil Engineers apply their skills in the design and construction of infrastructure such as roads, buildings, water supply and storage systems, wastewater systems, transport systems and bridges. Modern Civil Engineers are also concerned with the environmental sustainability of our water resources and the natural environment when designing projects. Civil Engineering graduates are well paid and are in demand within the industry. In this presentation, you will hear about the project-based learning approach used to teach civil engineering at UniSA. We will also explain the broad range of subject areas and specialisations that are available to you as well as the exciting prospects for a career in civil engineering, both in Australia and overseas.

Civil Aviation

Fly your way to a successful career in Civil Aviation

Time: 9.45am
Location: HH3-09

There are no limits to the heights you can reach with a Bachelor of Applied Science (Civil Aviation) degree coupled with flight training at the UniSA Aviation Academy. Modern pilots require a thorough knowledge of computer-controlled flight management systems, the associated technology, flight operations and crew resource management. Civil Aviation at UniSA is not just about learning the fundamentals of flying an aircraft. It has led graduates to careers as aircraft captains, or careers in aviation space control and aviation management for those who decline the flying option. Step aboard to discover how you can make your dreams take off.

Mechanical Engineering

You'll be amazed where a career in Mechanical Engineering can take you

Time: 12.00 noon
Location: H5-02 Bradley Forum

Repeat session at 2.15pm
Location: H5-02 Bradley Forum

UniSA's Mechanical Engineering degrees offer you 5 different choices of:

Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical and Sustainable Systems
Mechanical and Mechatronics
Mechanical and Advanced Manufacturing
Mechanical and Nanotechnology

All of these choices provide a strong theoretical program balanced with the practical exposure you need to apply your knowledge in your career. Your career options cover automotive, mining, defence, pharmaceutical, petrochemical, plastics, food processing, power and transport to name just a few - in South Australia alone!

More importantly don't forget to find out why so many of our graduates have a job well before they complete their studies!

Materials Engineering

Time: 1.30pm
Location: H5-02 Bradley Forum

When designing or improving a product, one of the first things to consider is the material itself. Materials engineers select materials, fabricate new devices and make existing ones work better. Materials engineering plays an important role in ensuring products are environmentally sustainable as well as economically competitive. UniSA’s Bachelor of Engineering (Materials) includes aspects of applied physics, chemistry, and chemical, mechanical, civil and materials engineering, as well as new high-tech areas such as nanotechnology.

Graduates will find work locally and internationally in the minerals, mining, manufacturing, aerospace, automotive and processing industries. Find out how mastering the principles of materials engineering will give you a unique edge in your career.

Environmental Management and Sustainability

Environmental Management and Sustainability - Gaining the skills to make a difference in your world

Time: 11.15am
Location: HH3-09

Repeat session at 3.45pm
Location: H5-02 Bradley Forum

Sustainable Environments was first offered in 2007 to prepare graduates for exciting career opportunities. Students are able to specialise in one of four areas of interest; Geospatial Information Systems, Environmental Protection and Management, Biodiversity and Park Management or Geographical and Earth Systems. This program has been designed in response to industry and government need for graduates who have sound knowledge in sustainable development practices and environmental management. Graduates employment opportunities exist in environmental studies, natural resource and environmental management, geographical information systems, pollution control and land and asset management. Come along to the presentation and find out about each of the new and exciting programs on offer and the available careers.

Construction Management

Time: 9.45am
Location: H5-02 Bradley Forum

Modern construction is a complex, highly organised commercial business. Every construction project is different with challenges in planning, design, construction and commissioning. UniSA offers programs in construction management, construction economics, building surveying and built environment. These programs, which are accredited by several professional bodies, provide pathways into a range of professional careers in the building and construction industry which is always seeking well qualified graduates.

Mathematics and Quantitative Finance

Time: 9.45am
Location: BH2-16

Studying the field of mathematics and statistics can lead to diverse career opportunities in Defence, Environmental Management, Banking, Finance, Engineering, and Transport, to name but a few. Employers value the analytical and problem solving skills which mathematics graduates possess, and UniSA's mathematics programs are highly regarded by industry. Come along and hear about the careers we can offer.

Urban and Regional Planning

Time: 10.30am
Location: H5-02 Bradley Forum

Interested in planning and designing more liveable and sustainable cities, towns and local neighbourhoods? A career in planning can lead to a well-paid job that offers a diverse range of career opportunities locally, nationally and internationally. This presentation will introduce you to the exciting profession of urban and regional planning: what it is, where it will take you and what you need to study to get there. 2009 marks the 60th Anniversary of Planning Education at UniSA, the oldest program of its kind in Australia.

Science

Science: Endless Opportunities

Time: 12.45pm
Location: HH3-09

Indulge your curiosity and become an expert in one or more of the areas of science. Science is concerned with the systematic study of the nature and behaviour of the physical universe based on observation, experiments and measurements. Science at UniSA offers a wide variety of discipline areas including physics, biology, chemistry, environmental studies, geoinformatics, geoscience, computing, and mathematics and statistics.

Electrical and Information Engineering

Information Technology engineering for the future

Time: 10.30am
Location: HH3-09

Information is power, and rapid advances in information and communications and control technologies have created increasing demand for multi-discipline engineers with a strong IT background. The School of Electrical and Information Engineering offers relevant, hands-on engineering degrees in the areas of networking and communications, electrical and mechatronics, computer systems, and electronics and communications. Students may also study for an applied science degree majoring in physics. Double degrees in business management, law and education are also possible. Students undertake exciting, industry-sponsored projects that include real-time wireless video, environmentally friendly transformers, electronic age care support, satellite communication, uninhabited aerial vehicles, smart sensors and interactive robots.
