What is Endeavour2004?

Endeavour is an initiative of the internationally esteemed Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the University of Melbourne. Endeavour has been held annually for the last six years.

The primary objectives of Endeavour2004 are:

to provide electrical, software, computer and mechatronics engineering students with the opportunity to showcase their final year research projects; to promote careers in engineering to tertiary and secondary students through industry interaction and the demonstration of cutting edge engineering; to encourage secondary students to undertake studies in engineering and related disciplines by providing them with information and inspiration; to promote the pursuit of innovation by bringing together current and future students, industry representatives and the general public; and to encourage awareness and appreciation of the technological achievements of Australian engineers amongst the wider community.

Endeavour2004 will culminate in a public exhibition showcasing final year projects of electrical, software, computer and mechatronics engineering students from the University of Melbourne. These students are amongst Australia's most talented and the projects are at the forefront of cutting edge technology. This exhibition will be held on Wednesday 27 October 2004 and is open to the general public between 10.00am and 4.30pm - entry is free!
