InspireU Senior Engineering

Please note: The InspireU Senior Engineering camp for this year has been postponed until further notice due to the increase of COVID-19 risk. Following the Australian Government's COVID-19 compliance requirements regarding social distancing restrictions, the InspireU camps will be postponed until a later date.

We understand that our InspireU camps are highly anticipated and we are disappointed we can not offer our InspireU camps, however; the safety and wellbeing of our InspireU students is our highest priority.

Engineers develop imaginative and visionary solutions to improve the world we live in.

The InspireU Engineering camp provides an opportunity for 20 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students from across Queensland to participate in a number of field-specific activities that are designed to provide insight into studying engineering at UQ and the wide range of career and study options available to engineering students and graduates.

The camp includes a range of informative and interactive activities such as touring UQ's engineering precinct, a visit to the visualisation room where students familiarise themselves with a virtual depiction of an open-cut and underground mine, as well as hands-on engineering workshops in the field of aerospace engineering.
