To be successful in any industry requires a keen awareness of the commercial landscape in which you operate. Mechanical engineering is no different; in this project you and your team will complete a hands-on design and build project that challenges you to develop, prototype and explore the market for a solution to a Mechanical engineering challenge. This project emphasis the combination of commercial awareness and the application of sound engineering knowledge. You will have creative freedom and be encouraged to develop innovative engineering solutions to real-world problems and market opportunities.
This project will put you and your team in the enviable position of having the time and resources to deploy your creativity and engineering knowledge towards a commercial opportunity of your choice. Will your project lead to the next innovation in bagless vacuum cleaners, will you develop a machine to autonomously collect plastic from the worlds oceans, or will you identify a market opportunity to develop the next must tool or gadget?
