Postgraduate Conferences in Built Environment and EngineeringPostgraduate students in the Faculty of Built Environment and Engineering are given the opportunity to gain experience in the presentation of their work at postgraduate conferences. It is a requirement of their study in this faculty that all full time internal research higher degree students attend at least 20 research seminars per year in their discipline area or across a wider spectrum of research. The postgraduate conferences afford the students the opportunity to not only present their own work but attend seminar presentations by their peers. Since 2005, two students within each of the four Faculty Themes - Smart Systems, Design, Infrastructure and Medical Engineering - have organised one conference per year to showcase their fields of expertise. On 15 December 2005 the inaugural conference was held for the Smart Systems Theme, organised by Nick Ward and Roland Goh. The Design Theme Conference was held 30 June 2006 organised by Nick Gaddum and Rafael Gomez. The Infrastructure Theme will hold the next conference on 26 September 2006. The conference will be held in L Block, Room 418 at the Gardens Point Campus. The organisers for this year's conference are Ackchai Sirikijpanichkul and Shih Hoi Wai (Henry). Calls for papers for the Infrastructure 2006 conference have been sent and is now closed. A number of abstracts have been received by the committee.
