What is the aim of our seminars?

University of Sydney student

Our seminars are primarily designed for our postgraduate students to present their work and gain experience at public speaking. However we also include our own academics, visiting researchers, and practicing engineers to present.

All members of the department - staff, postgraduates and undergraduates, as well as any interested members of the university & engineering community, and the general public are most welcome to attend.
