At UniSA, we support our engineering, construction and project management students with a comprehensive array of facilities.
This unique learning environment offers students a significant advantage in the development of their knowledge and skills through an interactive and applied learning model.
UniSA is the only university in South Australia offering large scale thermo fluids and aerodynamic laboratories, and robotic and automation laboratories. As a part of their program, our students have the opportunity to develop real-world projects, translating the theoretical concepts into actual outcomes.
Take a look through our engineering, construction and project management facilities.

Experiential Learning Studio
This studio is a new type of experiential learning environment containing the latest audio visual equipment. The Studio can provide students with the opportunity to engage in hands-on learning as demonstrated on the large wireless touch panel located at the front of the room. This room is broken up into various sections:
The touch panel at the front of the room will allow the teacher to:
Digital Learning Laboratory
The goal of Project LIVE (Learning through Immersive Virtual Environments) is to transform traditional classroom activities into flexible, interactive and engaging experiential learning exercises using immersive digital visualisations. This is achieved using two innovative lab spaces: the panorama room and visualisation studio. The first is equipped with a multi-projector facility that enables the simultaneous display of 270-degree panoramic images and videos for the purpose of information integration and collaborative learning. The second is a VR-enabled computer studio equipped with both Oculus Rift and HTC Vive virtual reality headsets and touch controllers. These learning spaces are available for interactive workshops, showcases, student visits and tours, and have recently been recognised by an Australian Award for University Teaching for Outstanding Contributions to Student Learning.
Co-located with engineering and tech companies in Technology Park, Mawson Lakes campus has industry-standard teaching and research facilities everywhere. The campus hosts many internationally-recognised research institutes and centres.
The support and facilities at UniSA has helped me develop as an engineer. I also have the opportunity to undertake an industry placement, where I can improve my professional and transferable skills, before entering the workforce.

The ease of access and breadth of learning resources available, including libraries, online journals and specialist applications, have made learning at UniSA stress-free and extremely insightful. With a focus on how engineering principles can be used to improve the health of an organisation, this course has allowed me to bridge the gap between organisational management and engineering management.
