🎉𝐂𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞! Last week, we held our 𝟒𝟐𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐧𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 at the beautiful St Leo’s College - a milestone event designed to give our thesis students an authentic taste of professional life. From the moment students picked up their lanyards at registration, the day unfolded like a true symposium. With a formal welcome from Professor Lydia Kavanagh, the conference kicked off into a full day of presentations, discussions, and networking. Across four sessions and six themed streams, our undergraduate and postgraduate students presented their thesis work in 10-minute talks followed by Q&A - all formally assessed by their advisors and second markers. But it wasn’t just about presenting; students also had the chance to attend other sessions, sparking conversations and connections throughout the day. The buzz during morning tea, lunch, and afternoon tea said it all - our future engineers were networking, collaborating, and celebrating their hard work with peers, staff, and industry guests. In his closing remarks, Professor Ross McAree reminded us that engineers are, at their core, problem solvers. He praised the creativity, dedication, and thoughtful solutions our students brought to the table - a true reflection of their commitment and the support of our academic and industry mentors. A heartfelt thank you to our industry partners, academic staff, and especially Professor Lydia Kavanagh for her oversight. And to our exceptional School Admin team - your tireless behind-the-scenes work made it all possible – thank you so much!! Here’s to our students as they take the next step in their careers. We couldn’t be prouder👏👏👏!

Live today at Asia-Pacific's International Mining Exhibition - AIMEX 2025: Spotlight on Mining Education at UQ As the mining industry shifts, the skills we need are shifting too. At #UQ, we’re responding with flexible, future-focused education, and today, we’re part of two important conversations about the role of higher education in shaping what comes next. Catch Associate Professor Saiied Aminossadati live now on the Higher Education Panel on the Main Stage, and again at 1:00 PM for the UQ Spotlight Session on the Innovation and Tech Stage. We’re talking about how engineering education is evolving, from interdisciplinary undergraduate majors to new postgraduate programs co-developed with industry, and professional development short courses that connect academic insight with practical, industry application. If you’re here at AIMEX, come by the UQ stand at R36 to chat with our team from UQ School of Mechanical and Mining Engineering and UQ Sustainable Minerals Institute. Whether you’re thinking about upskilling, collaborating, or preparing for a new challenge, we’d love to connect.
