Engineering Event

Description

STEAM IC is having another small-scale engineering event! It is scheduled for Saturday, November 9th, 2024, from 2:00 pm – 7:00 pm at Silver Bell Ln, Etobicoke, ON M9W 5L7. During the event, participants will receive an exclusive tour of Humber College, have the opportunity to network with industry professionals, learn about post-secondary oppurtunities, and explore the different fields of engineering. There will be multiple stations set up which cover a all specialisations of engineering, among which participants can rotate throughout the day.

Professionals from all branches of engineering will be present to share their experiences, provide insight into the field, and advice for post-secondary education for their respective careers.

Rotation Activities

Most of this event consists of activities among which participants will rotate. These activities cover the branches of mechanical, civil, chemical, computer, and aerospace engineering. There is also a case-study activity to test your engineering knowledge!

  • Mechanical Engineering: A Rube-Goldberg machine competition, exploring concepts in physics & simple machines
  • Chemical Engineering: Building a water filter, creating an understanding of how chemicals are used in day-to-day activities
  • Civil Engineering: Develops the fundamentals of architecture through a Bridge building activity
  • Aerospace Enginnering: Using paper airplanes to explore aerodynamics in engineering and how these concepts can be scaled-up to real-life applications
  • Biomedical Engineering: Challenging the applications of academic concepts through a case study that focuses on improving accessibillity for individuals who struggle with quality of life.
  • Computer Engineering: Utilisation of Arduinos to learn and apply the fundamentals of Computer science.
