Engineers of the future present their projects to industry experts
Engineering students at the University of Exeter presented on a range of innovative projects including drones, a self-propelled capsule, a knee brace and a shaking table to industry experts at a special event.
More than 100 Master of Engineering (MEng) students from across a range of disciplines showcased their group work as posters, displays and presentations, to representatives from Babcock, the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, the Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital, Exeter College, and BSW Consulting Engineers.
The day-long event, which took place at the University’s Streatham campus, was an opportunity for students to showcase their project work and to network with industry contacts.
Professor James Brownjohn, lead academic for the module, said: “This cohort of students have created some really impressive work, and this experience will have sharpened crucial skills required by industry, such as team working, problem solving and project management.
He added: “The poster day also provides an excellent opportunity for representatives from industry to meet and engage with the engineers of the future.”
