Two engineers from the Electricity Generating Authority (EGAT) of Thailand recently participated in training on maintenance management and engineering at CQUniversity Gladstone.

They met metallurgist Dr Alan McLeod and Dr Subhash Sharma, who coordinates the Maintenance Management Masters program.

Associate Professor Monica Moran is across a range of projects, stretching out well beyond her role as Joint Program Lead for Occupational Therapy.

Most of her projects champion the benefits of an interprofessional education (IPE) approach to developing the health sector, on a national and global scale.

The inaugural International Cookbook Research Symposium was held at CQUniversity Noosa Campus recently.

Co-convened by Professor Donna Lee Brien from the School of Creative and Performing Arts and Dr Adele Wessell from Southern Cross University, the conference attracted delegates from almost every state and territory in Australia (the ACT, NSW, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania and Victoria) as well as international presenters from New Zealand and the UK, and Noosa-based staff and postgraduate students.

Engineering graduate Mitchell Lees received a prize from the Fund for Accessing Future Potential (FAPEx) for three years in a row, after achieving the highest weighted Grade Point Average (GPA) in his compulsory courses.

The recent Rockhampton graduation ceremony gave prize donor Paul Andersen the chance to congratulate Mitchell once again.

Graduation was a real family affair, especially for PhD researchers Dr Judith Applegarth and Dr Lance Pendergast.

While waiting to cross the stage at the CQUniversity Rockhampton cermony, both Judith and Lance had the chance to see their children graduate with bachelor degrees.

There's a common perception that young children are rather active, but recent studies in several countries show that this is often not the case.

Rockhampton people have the chance to attend a free 'Research Unplugged' presentation to discover more on this issue, from 6pm-7pm on Thursday October 25 at the Criterion Hotel function room (free finger foods will be provided).

Around 30 high school music students from the Capricornia district this week had the chance for extra tuition in jazz and contemporary popular music, thanks to the Jammin' program offered at CQUniversity Rockhampton.

Jammin is an annual initiative of CQUniversity's Central Queensland Conservatorium of Music, which gives teenage singers and instrumentalists an intensive and inspirational experience across three days.

Researchers are taking a fresh look at human waste treatment solutions, in conjunction with a national conference in Newcastle this week (Sept 26-28).

Among trends being discussed are the potential for high-rise buildings to separate out urine as an agricultural fertiliser, and the benefits for residential subdivisions able to install their own wastewater system.

For younger audience members, the wait for family to cross the graduation stage may have seemed like forever. However, it was all smiles when Cunningham Kuveya finally accepted his testamur and was welcomed by his wife Hazel, younger daughter Tanatsa and older daughter Tatenda.

The Bachelor of Business-Major in HRM has received three years' accreditation with the Australian Human Resources Institute (AHRI) and the Master of Management-HR has received one year's accreditation and will re-apply next year once some program changes have been undertaken..
