Endeavour Industry Night

The Endeavour Industry Night is an annual showcase of final year Electrical, Electronic & Software Engineering undergraduate projects. With food, drinks and live music, the event is a highlight of the School's calendar and provides a fantastic networking opportunity for students, industry members, and university academics.

The Industry Night allows industry members to view student projects and interact one on one with our graduating class. A short awards ceremony is held to recognise the best projects on display, the winners of which are chosen by both industry members and university academics.

2009 Industry Night Summary & Award Winners

The 2009 Endeavour Industry Night was a great success, with over 300 students, alumni and industry representatives attending in the evening. For the first time in the 12 year history of the Endeavour Exhibition the awards ceremony was moved outside of the main hall and into a ornately lit marquee. Many complements were received at the close of the night for the ambience and relaxed feel of the evening.

5 awards were presented to the highest achieving projects for their dedicated hard work throughout the year.
