At the exhibition, you will get to see over 50 demonstrations of final year projects from electrical, software, computer and mechatronics engineering students. It is a great way to find out what university students get up to, and what you will be expected to achieve if you undertake an engineering degree at the University of Melbourne.

School Presentations
We understand that the transition between school to university can be bewildering – hey, we were once at school too! Through school presentations from student representatives of the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, you will find out more about our course and will have the chance to discuss university life with current tertiary students.
