2021 Monash University
Faculty of Engineering
Post Graduate Student Conference
Monash University Clayton Campus
Woodside Building
25th November 2021 (9am - 5pm)
Welcome from the Organizing Committee
Join us for the 1st Engineering Postgraduate Conference at Monash University – Clayton Campus in Melbourne, Australia. The Conference is a great opportunity to meet and connect with fellow research students, academics, and invited industry partners of the whole Faculty of Engineering!
For the first time at Monash, researchers and industry leaders across chemical, civil, electrical, materials, and mechanical engineering will come together to showcase their pioneering work - all in one conference - opening avenues for unique feedback and collaboration.
All postgraduate students in the Faculty of Engineering are welcome to present their excellent work at the conference, including students based at Monash Suzhou, Monash Malaysia, and IITB-Monash as this event will be be streamed to and from international campuses. We also welcome any current undergraduate and honours students to attend to explore the possibilities of the Monash research program.
The Conference will encompass all ranges of emerging topics in the engineering field, and we encourage all postgraduate students and early career researchers (ECRs) to submit an abstract. The most exciting and impactful abstracts will be selected for the Conference and multiple prizes will be awarded to the best posters and oral presentations.
