    Professor Trevor Day, Executive Dean, Faculty of Science, Engineering and Built Environment; Professor Chris Austin, Head of School of Life and Environmental Sciences; and Dr Kelly Miller, Environmental Science Course Director, invite Year 11 and 12 students, teachers and parents, to our upcoming seminar 'Living in a Tiny House: the benefits for society, environment and you!' with guest speaker Darren Hughes. Australia's expert on Tiny Houses and founder of Tiny Houses Australia, Darren Hughes has built up a global community of over 41,000 followers on Facebook. In fact, Tiny Houses Australia has become the hub of all things 'Tiny' in this country. When he started the community nearly four years ago, there was almost no information about Tiny Houses in Australia. Since then, Darren has seen the interest in Tiny Houses explode with more and more Aussies making the decision to downsize, simplify their lives and build their own Tiny House. Darren has been interviewed a number of times both here in Australia and internationally, has been featured several times in Tiny House magazine and was a featured speaker at the recent Melbourne and Sydney Home Shows and the National Sustainable Living Festival. Refreshments will be available following the presentation. Please RSVP your attendance by Tuesday 21 March 2017, places are limited. Register here

    If you have any questions, please email [email protected]

    We look forward to welcoming you. Faculty of Science, Engineering and Built Environment

    Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching (QILT)

    The ADF Gap Year program provides an opportunity for young Australians, who have finished Year 12 (or equivalent) and are aged between 17 and 24, to experience military training and lifestyle whilst gaining new

    skills and pay over their Gap Year. The life skills and job training that students acquire during their Gap Year experience will be valuable regardless of what career you ultimately undertake. Gap Year opportunities are available in the Navy, Army and Air Force. The GAP Year will commence in January/February 2018 and the jobs available are Navy Gap Year, Army Gap Year (Administration Clerk, Artilleryman, Driver, Rifleman, and Unit Quartermaster) and Air Force Gap Year. Applications for 2018 open in March!

    To find out more information about the ADF Gap Year program please visit ADF GAP YEAR

    Towards the end of 2015, the federal government launched the Quality Indicators for Learning and Teaching (QILT) website. The aim of this website is to assist students in making informed choices about their higher education options by bringing together survey data from all Australian universities, allowing students to compare student experience and job outcomes. So, students are able to compare the student experience, whether domestic or international, between universities, and also learn more about employment outcomes of the different institutions. Students surveyed were asked a range of questions, such as –

    are they satisfied with the teaching they have received in their course; were they engaged with their institution (i.e. through face to face discussions, did they have a sense of

    belonging at their institution); were they satisfied with the learning resources provided by their institution; were they satisfied with the support they received at their institution (e.g. easy access to the enrolment

    systems, learning advice and were health services available and helpful); and had they developed skills through their studies

    Data was also collected to identify how many students gained full-time employment four months after completing their course, and what the median salary was for those graduates in full-time employment. This website is really user-friendly and well worth browsing - QILT
