School Holiday Engineering Tour - 11 April

Curious about studying engineering at UQ? Discover our cutting-edge teaching and learning facilities located within the Engineering Precinct. 

Visit the Hawken Engineering Building, home of the Boeing Research and Technology Australia, the Dorothy Hill Engineering and Sciences Library and the First Year Engineering Learning Centre (FYELC), a multi-purpose collaborative space to enhance the experience for Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) single and dual degree students. 

The FYELC has a relaxed, contemporary environment to encourage student interaction, learning and teamwork, promoting student networks and helping to smooth the transition from high school to university, and is a place for students to call 'home'.

Explore UQ Innovate, our unique makerspace where students and staff come together to bring their ideas to life through state-of-the-art equipment and modern technologies.

The Andrew N. Liveris Building is the home of Chemical Engineering on campus, supporting our researchers and students to address sustainability challenges facing our world to create positive change for developing populations. At 11 storeys high, the building is the tallest building on UQ’s St Lucia campus – we hope you’re not afraid of heights as we take a trip in the glass elevator!

You’ll also visit UQ’s Advanced Engineering Building , the greenest building on campus. Not only is the AEB environmentally friendly, but it also boasts a state-of-the-art GHD Auditorium, the largest auditorium at UQ with a seating capacity of over 500. With a “live building” design, you'll get to see sustainability in action and how the AEB has earned its 5 Star Green Star rating.
