Three years after its inception, the Engineers for the Future program is still going strongly, with another batch of presentations scheduled recently to ensure students keep up with developments in the industrial sector.

The program is a 'work-integrated learning' partnership between CQUniversity and John Holland Group (a contracting, engineering and services provider).

Congratulations to first-year Electrical Engineering students Lauren Keleher, Aishling McLeod and Reuben Smith who have earned Australian Power Institute (API) bursaries based on their academic results.

The CQUni trio are among only 13 Queenslanders named as recipients this year.

Nestled in a major industrial and port city, CQUniversity Gladstone has hosted a distinguished visitor who is one of Australia's foremost experts on corrosion and corrosion-assisted cracking. He is interested in collaborating with the CQUni academics who consult to our local industrial giants.

CQUniversity is extending its opening hours at the Cairns Distance Education Study Centre to provide greater convenience for its students.

The Centre will continue operating from 9am to 5pm (Monday, Wednesday, Friday) and 10am to 6pm (Tuesday and Thursday).

CQUniversity's latest Research Unplugged event held in Mackay has been hailed a ‘great success' by organiser and Institute for Health and Social Science Research (IHSSR) representative Dr James Douglas.

The event, consisting of a co-presentation by Assoc Prof Peter Reaburn (School of Medical and Applied Sciences) and Tracey Belbin (Australian Sports Commission), attracted nearly 50 interested attendees, mostly drawn from a number of sporting and community organisations.

CQUniversity is calling on prospective students outside of Central Queensland to consider a career in engineering, as the resource industry continues to show high demand for undergraduate engineers.

The Bachelor of Engineering Co-op degree, which allows students to take part in paid employment as part of the degree, has seen so many industry placements that it can't fill them all, according to Deputy Vice-Chancellor Professor Graham Pegg.

The Central Highlands Development Corporation has announced CQUniversity Emerald as ‘The Central Highlands Business of the Month' for September, 2012..

Our Rockhampton Campus post office is officially the busiest of its type across the regional council area, according to staff members Leesa and Antonia.

The campus post office has reviewed points allocated to Licensed Post Offices (LPOs) across North Queensland to support this status.

Professor Bronwyn Fredericks, Pro Vice-Chancellor (Indigenous Engagement) and BMA Chair in Indigenous Engagement was a guest speaker at BMA's Diversity Breakfast and also a facilitator at the company's Future Female Leaders Workshop in Moranbah recently.

The Breakfast also provided an opportunity for presentations on 'diversity in the workplace' from Vincent Cosgrove, BMA's Head of External Affairs, Suzan McDaniel, Vice President Talent, and Juliette Bourke, Deloitte.

Torres Strait Islander Seaman Dan has had a long association with CQUniversity researcher Associate Professor Karl Neuenfeldt, who has helped produce his award-winning CDs.

Now, even three years after officially retiring, Seaman has worked with Karl to release another recording called Sunnyside, featuring Nat King Cole songs done with a Torres Strait flavour.
