- Description: Survey and focus group interviews with female students in regional Victoria resulted in identification of four perceived barriers that influence them to exclude engineering as a career choice. These barriers were identified as a lack of interest in the perceived image, a lack of knowledge, a traditionally male-dominated industry, and limited recognisable role models. This paper reports on what Year 10 females are saying about the barriers and, consequently, how engineering can be promoted to overcome these barriers.

- Description: Skill shortage in many areas has been identified as a significant factor limiting sustainable development in regional Australia. In engineering, this is impacting mining projects, transport and water infrastructure, and even manufacturing in regional centers. It is proving increasingly difficult to attract urban-bred and educated graduates into regional engineering careers. Many students entering University from regional Australia are from lower socio-economic groupings; meaning that the normal four-year Bachelor of Engineering program is a durational and financial barrier that many fail. The University of Ballarat has over the past five years moved in consultation with industry and the professional body (Engineers Australia) to a linked three-year Bachelor of Engineering Science and follow-on coursework Masters of Engineering Technology (similar to the European Bologna process). These programs are accredited at Engineering Technologist and Professional Engineer levels respectively. This structure allows the three-year graduates to enter the work place with a recognized award if they wish, and/or to continue their engineering education. Community engagement is an increasingly important element of the curriculum process, both in training the engineers of the future in this area together with leadership skills. Collaborative agreements with industry are also being entered into to formalize staff development through higher education programs on-site, on-campus and via distance delivery. This paper will discuss the structures of the academic programs, the modes of delivery, industry uptake of graduates, the use of single units for continuing education purposes and the potential for student exchange.

- Description: In this project, an in-situ soil treatment technique using electrokinetics was tested using laboratory experimental models in order to identify the potential of this approach to modify and improve the engineering properties of soft, low permeable clayey soils, with and without the introduction of a stabilising agent. Experiments were conducted in the laboratory using soils collected from soft alluvial soil deposit and basaltic soil deposit in central Victoria, Australia. A layer of soil was placed in glass tanks (900 mm x 350 mm plan area) and compacted to a known density and water content typical of field conditions. Using electrodes inserted into the soil, a direct current was passed across the soil under a voltage gradient of 0.5 V/cm for period of 14 days. In separate experiments, distilled water and a saturated lime solution were introduced to the soil via the anode electrode throughout the experimental duration with the aim of identifying the effectiveness of introduction of stabilising agents to soil using electrokinetics. After electrokinetic processing, soil specimens across the soil were tested for various engineering properties such as compressive strength, consistency limits, linear shrinkage, free swell index and compression index. From the results it was observed that the plasticity index of the soil decreased appreciably indicating increases in soil compressive strength and workability. Both the linear shrinkage and free swell index decreased by 70% without stabilising agents and by 90% with lime introduction, indicating the reduction in the potential for volumetric changes in the soils. With electrokinetic treatment alone, the unconfined compressive strength of the soils increased at least by 30% while in some locations the strength increase was in excess of 100% while the lime-enhanced electrokinetic treatment led to an almost 200% strength increase. The decrease in the compression index was between 10% and 15%. These results suggest the potential of developing this technique to improve the engineering properties of soft clayey soils more effectively and efficiently with or without the introduction of a stabilising agent. © 2007 Taylor & Francis Group.
