Create change at The University of Queensland
The University of Queensland launched a makerspace of world-class standards, placing this top 50-university at the forefront of hands-on education in the country.
The new makerspace facilities, UQ Innovate, are the largest of its kind in the country. The space features a 1200 square metre workshop with advanced prototyping and manufacturing machines and tools. Some equipment include 3D printers, vacuum formers, waterjet cutters, and industrial robots.
Professor Vicki Chen, Executive Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, Architecture and Information Technology said that these new facilities would give students at UQ a competitive edge over others while entering the job market.
“One of our main roles as a university is to give our students the confidence and capability to embrace the challenges of a changing world. With the launch of UQ Innovate, we are in a much stronger position to fuel their curiosity, so they can drive sustainable solutions at the cutting edge, today and tomorrow,” he added.
Design and build teams from UQ Racing and UQ Space teams have used the university’s expertise and facilities to produce competitive rockets and race cars on a national level.
Myrthe Snoeks, Managing Director of UQ Space and engineering and arts student said that her team was able to accomplish a lot in the past year owing to UQ’s facilities and support, including becoming a winner of the 2019 Australian University Rocket Competition, which will be strengthened with the addition of the new makerspace.
Myrthe also said, “With the launch of these new facilities, we have the tools we need to tackle even more exciting and challenging projects, with the aim to go further than any Australian university team has gone before.”
The university’s teachers are the most highly awarded in Australia. UQ has won more national teaching awards than any other Australian university, testament to the innovative and professional teaching approach taken by the institution. Recognised for transforming the way students learn at university, its teachers inspire and guide students with the latest knowledge and ideas underpinned by the wealth of experience possessed by faculty.
Students will put theory into practice in workplace settings, expanding their understanding and contextualising their studies. In the International Student Barometer 2018, an Australia-wide survey designed to assess how satisfied international students were with their university, UQ students gave it above 88 per cent for overall student satisfaction, good teachers, quality lectures and more.
The university is home to six faculties, eight internationally recognised multidisciplinary research institutes and other research and educational sites across Queensland. These include marine research stations at Heron and Stradbroke Islands, a mineral research centre, seismograph station, veterinary and agricultural science teaching and research centres at Gatton, UQ Business School, social science research at Long Pocket, teaching hospitals, health centres and other medical research facilities. Its research, delivered by an interdisciplinary research community of more than 1500 scientists, social scientists and engineers, has a global impact.
