How students blend creativity, technology and problem-solving: Ingenuity 2024
What does food smell like in space?
In cities of the future, how many trees could help cool down urban areas?
Could piloting a submarine be as simple as riding a bike?
Explore how our students are tackling challenges and inspiring the community. On Wednesday, October 30, students presented their projects to staff, fellow students, and high school attendees at Ingenuity 2024. This event highlights how real-life problems can be addressed within the fields of architecture, the built environment, and science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
See students showcase their projects!
To tree or not to tree
See the model created by environmental engineering students that could help future decision-makers improve choices in urban greening (tree placement) by assessing critical factors like canopy cover, ambient temperature, urban heat island, and rainfall.
Bio-inspired morphing lunar robot
Meet FLIK, the ant-like lunar robot designed by electrical and mechanical engineering students. FLIK is designed to manoeuvre the challenging terrain of the moon in more versatile ways than traditional rovers. While also being able to morph into a small size for deployment.
Keeping flavours alive in space
Find out how chemical engineering student Nuha is tackling the issue of low morale on long-term space missions due to loss or aroma and flavour in space food by using cold plasma technology to enhance the natural aroma and flavour of cherry tomatoes.
Human-powered submarine
Imagine piloting a submarine, not with an engine, but by pedaling your way through the water! It’s like riding a bike underwater but with intense engineering challenges and innovative design. And it’s not just a cool idea; it’s part of a real competition, The European International Submarine Race.
