10.45am: Oil and gas occur in the tiny spacesbetween grains of rock, often three to fourkilometres below the surface of the earth or seafloor. Have you ever thought about the problemof figuring out where it is, how much is there,how to get it out and what its worth?

This is the job of a petroleum engineer.Petroleum engineers earn a fantastic income,travel the world, and work on interesting, multi-million dollar projects. They use leading-edgetechnology, such as computer simulations and3D virtual reality, to solve the many challengesof getting natural resources out of the earth.

MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES

Where Can a Degree in Maths Take You?

11.30am: “Do as much mathematics and statistics as you can in your degrees – these skills will empower your professional life.” Sosaid the world-renowned scientist and Australianof the Year in 2000, Sir Gustav Nossal. This talkwill explore some of the many careers open to

a graduate in mathematics and explain why anunderstanding of mathematics and statistics willempower your professional life.

ELECTRICAL &ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING

Sustainable Energy in Action

12.15pm: Electrical engineers solve big problemsand providing sustainable sources of electricalenergy for today and the future is certainly one ofthese. This talk highlights how sustainable energyconsiderations affect your everyday life. We start bylearning about the power and energy consumptionof appliances and then calculate the economics

CHEMICAL ENGINEERINGChemical Engineering for the 21st Century

1pm: The playing field for chemical engineersis shifting rapidly and strategies need to be inplace to prepare our new graduates for thesechallenges. At the forefront of academic researcha paradigm shift has occurred from traditionalanalyses at continuum platforms, to themolecular level. No longer is industry dominatedby petroleum and chemical processes, but isnow augmented by biotechnology and mining.

COMPUTER SCIENCE

Computer Science Billionaires – Changingsociety while having fun and making money

1.45pm: We are still in the midst of the computerrevolution. Our society has been transformedand continues to transform due to newtechnologies and the businesses and servicesthat are spawned from these technologies.

Companies, products and services, such asiPad, iPhone, iPod, eBook, Kindle, eBay,Amazon, Google, Facebook, and Twitter justdidn’t exist 10–15 years ago. The transformationof society in terms of the way we socialise,work, and entertain ourselves is huge. Moreover,behind each of these companies, products andservices, is an interesting story of self-madebillionaires motivated by the fun and potential ofexploring new technologies.

This talk will cover some of these stories – focusing on computer scientists and engineersthat did more than make themselves rich – theytransformed the way we live.

CIVIL, ENVIRONMENTAL& MINING ENGINEERING

Who Put the Civil In Civilisation?

2.30pm: How did engineers and engineeringtechnology affect the development of humancivilisation? Where are we now and what willfuture civilisations look like? Where wouldsociety be without safe homes and buildings orwithout an effective transport system?

Learn about how our civilisation depends oncivil and mining engineers and about theirdeveloping role in modern society.

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
