Dear Friends and Colleagues

We are very excited to announce that the FEIT Prototype Exhibition (Spring 2019) was an absolute success.

The event saw +200 guests from the UTS community (staff, students, alumni), industry partners, research partners, family, friends, and the general public.

100+ students from 10 different project-based subjects (ranging from Robotics, Mechatronics, Game Design and Development, Interactive Media, Interaction Desing, Software Development, Human-Centered Design Methods among others), presented 32 amazing prototypes that included, but were not limited to: video games, software solutions, interactive media apps, cultural kits, to name a few.

Attendees had the chance to interact with our top-performing students, see their fabulous prototypes, and more importantly, helped us judge the best student prototypes of the evening.

About the event:

Each semester, the Faculty of Engineering and IT hosts a Student Prototype Exhibition. This event aims at celebrating students' successes and recognising outstanding work. This exhibition compiles the best student prototypes from all the project-based subjects in our faculty. This is an opportunity for the general public to come and talk to our top students and see their work in a low-pressure context.

If you would like your students/subject to be involved in future Prototype Exhibitions, please contact Dr. Jaime Garcia
