A total of 22 students recently attended the Mackay Science Experience, based at CQUniversity Mackay and including field trips to the Bureau of Meteorology and the Bureau of Sugar Experiment Stations..

The grand-daughter of CQUniversity founder Bruce Hiskens was one of 40 budding scientists who attended the Science Experience in Rockhampton recently.

Morgan Parker, from Cooloola Christian College in Gympie, said that like her grandfather before her, she hopes to study engineering.

Final-year learning management student Elizabeth Hamilton has refocused her study and career ambitions and has even opted to trade the beaches near Bundaberg for the mountains of New Mexico, thanks to an overseas exchange experience..

It'll be a teaching video with a difference! Our Vice-Chancellor plays the part of a hospital doctor and a female nursing academic plays the part of an elderly male patient.

CQUniversity Power Engineering graduate Nathaniel Dunnett feels honoured that his final-year thesis is still sparking interest, even now that he is firmly entrenched in an industry role.
