ANFF-SA Microengineering Winter School
A free four-day microengineering winter school was held at Mawson Lakes earlier this month.
The microengineering winter school provides students, researchers, academics and industry with a fascinating introduction to the design and fabrication of microfluidic/electronic, MEMS, optical and sensing chips.
It is run by the South Australian node of the Australian National Fabrication Facility (ANFF-SA), which specialises in world-class design and engineering solutions to deliver advanced manufacturing technologies to local, national and international users.
The winter school included presentations and practicals delivered by industry leaders and technical experts who introduced photolithography, design for photolithography, etching, PDMS devices, microelectrodes, characterisation, simulation and optical interference and spectra.
Launch of SA Refugee Youth Population report
Research from UniSA has highlighted the rich cultural diversity of youth with refugee backgrounds in South Australia and early findings suggest that these young Australians are actively engaged in education and are successfully working towards high aspirations.
In a major report, Demographic Profile of SA Refugee Youth Population 2019, released as part of an Australian Research Council-funded research project looking at refugees’ transition from school to further education, training and employment, researchers have shown that positive education experiences can be the vital key to future success, professionally and personally for refugees.
The report was launched by the Governor of South Australia Hieu Van Le AC in late June at UniSA’s Kerry Packer Civic Gallery as part of SA Refugee Week.
