MEG - July Workshop (SOLD OUT)
About
Join us on 2 July for an exciting hands-on workshop exploring the world of Biomedical Engineering and Electrical & Computer Systems Engineering. Designed for our Year 10–12 Monash Engineering Girls members, discover how engineers are shaping the future through medical technologies, automation, robotics, and intelligent systems. Students will take part in two hands-on workshops and gain insights from current Engineering students and academics about university life and career pathways.Program Schedule
9:30 AM – Arrival & Check-in at the Alan Finkel Building
9:40 – 9:50 AM – Welcome & Introduction to Engineering
9:50 – 10:15 AM – Icebreaker Activity
An engaging session to help students connect, with small prizes to encourage participation.
10:15 AM – 12:00 PM - Morning Workshops - students will be allocated into one of the following workshops.
Workshop 1: How Touch Screens Work
Students explore how touchscreens work through hands-on demonstrations and collaborative design activities. Participants will investigate resistive sensing technology and apply their understanding to engineer a touch-sensitive control strip for an industrial glove. This session highlights how resistive touch technology is used in industry, from VR and robotics to surgical exoskeletons.
Workshop 2: Prosthetic Design Challenge
Students explore the engineering principles behind prosthetic limbs through real-world medical case studies. Participants will design their own prosthetic solution for an assigned patient scenario, justifying their design choices against practical constraints. This session highlights how engineering, biomechanics, and human-centred design come together in modern assistive technology.
Workshop 3: Hands on Circuit Design
Students gain hands-on experience building real electrical circuits while learning the fundamental theory behind how they work. Participants will construct their own circuits and develop skills in reading and drawing circuit diagrams. This session highlights how electrical engineering principles underpin everything from household appliances to cutting-edge technology.
Workshop 4: DIY Hand Prosthetic
A hands-on session on mechanical design where students explore how to create a hand prosthetic prototype with basic materials, such as cardboard, string & tape. Participants will gain understanding of prototyping principles while practicing their creativity in designing joints and connective parts of the prosthetic.
12:00 – 12:45 PM – LUNCH BREAK (Lunch will be provided)
12:45 – 2:30 PM
Afternoon Workshops - Students will do a second rotation of the above workshops
2:30 – 3:30 PM – Networking & Q&A Session
Connect with our current students and join a networking session with academics and peers and gain valuable career insights.
