How you can get involved
In 2023 we’re planning to hold some of the events on campus, while retaining other aspects online.
We’re looking for alumni and industry mentors to support our first and second year engineering students as they take part in these cross-faculty project weeks, aimed at developing their ability to take on real-life engineering projects.
Your role:
-
Share your insight and career experiences with students
-
Provide feedback on student projects and presentations
-
Take part in a discussion panel with the students
-
Showcase your company and talent spot for graduate opportunities
Time commitment
We're still finalising the programme as we work towards a hybrid approach.
