What's On at UWA

We know from research evidence that getting students engaged by interaction in class helps promote a deeper approach to learning. But how do we conduct this practice?

In this interactive seminar, the panel discussion will showcase the practices of two of our lecturers, Marco Ghisalberti (...)

This seminar will examine how the Faculty of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics is exploring service-learning as a strategy for preparing engineers to cope with the complexities of the modern world.

Members of the panel will share their perspectives on the challenges and rewards of a (...)

Engineering programs often feature units that contain a semester-long project, in which students are required to complete an extended piece of work throughout the full duration of the semester. The traditional model of assessment for such units is for students to present a series of demonstrations (...)

A more sustainable energy future is within our reach but the costs of deployment of energy supply technologies in general is a key barrier for rapid deployment, preventing market penetration and uptake. An analysis in terms of primary market parameters such as demand, cost functions and profit (...)
