Level 3 Science Excursion to University of New South Wales - Ms Sundaram Level 3 Science Teacher
On Wednesday 12th of June, all the Level 3 students with Ms Sundaram, Mr Masters and Ms Abbas had the privilege of spending a full day at the University of New South Wales. The students were able to experience firsthand and mingle with the local students at the University. They were briefed on the study opportunities and pathways to get into the Science and Engineering Faculties by a university student ambassador.
Next we had an hour and half session at the Material Engineering Faculty where students saw the heavy machines used in research and experiments. They were divided in groups to work on small projects at the Engineering mini stations with the theme of sustainability within Engineering. The students were engaged and were asking the Engineering student demonstrators lots of questions.
We had time to enjoy our lunch at the big quadrangle in front of the main library and see all the social activities during lunch time. We then proceeded to the Human Disease Museum where there were life exhibits of deceased showing how various diseases affect different aspects of the body. By the end of the day all the students and teachers benefitted tremendously from this trip. We were exhausted by the evening with the walking we did around that day but it was all worth it.
More excursions will be planned to inspire IEC students to pursue their knowledge and careers within Science and Engineering.
