Our annual Engineering Design Show is coming up on October 19th & 20th and we’d love you to come and join us!
What is the University of Waikato Engineering Design Show?
This world-class Engineering Design Show is the flagship event of the School of Engineering and the high-point of our degree programmes. It provides an opportunity to see firsthand how our students excel in designing, building and testing new products, structures and solutions for the real world. Students also compete within the event for industry-sponsored prizes.
