The UWS Engineering School engaged this week with long time friends of UWS, Ian Stone and Yashar Ahmet of Advance Metal Products. Ian and Yashar discussed and planned collaborations in material testing and the possibility of supporting development of undergraduates and graduates with exciting real world projects.

Engineering academics Drs Sasha Alexander and Mithra Fernando along with Innovation & Consulting representative Dr Fiona Cameron, took the visitors on a tour of the engineering facilities and the new Engineering building "Z" at Kingswood. During the tour the visitors were shown a large hole in the ground at the testing facility which has been prepared for Engineering's new heavy duty 1000 Tonne load testing equipment which will be arriving in May and will be unique in Australia.

The tour coincided with the UWS Career's annual expo held in Engineering and facilitated by UWS Careers doyenne Freny Tayebjee. The tour group is seen here looking at some of the civil engineering exhibits prepared for the students.
