The
University of South Australia (UniSA) employs a
unique award winning hands-on approach to Smart
Electronics / Computer Systems / Mechatronics
Engineering studies. This innovative program
enhances the students future employment
opportunities through a process of: Peer
Tutoring, Compulsory Industrial Training and
Final Year Project.
Peer Tutoring (Mentoring Program)
The emphasis is to put theory into practice in a
real life environment. The students can choose to
undergo an intensive eLabtronics sponsored
Microcontroller Robotic training program. The
students subsequently continue in a Peer Tutoring
Program of Robotic Competition for High Schools.
This innovative CoreChart Robotic Peer Tutoring
program was awarded the 2002 UniSA Chancellor's
Award for Outstanding Community Service. It is
now incorporated as part of the compulsory BUGE
(Broadening Undergraduate Education) subject for
engineering students.

The
aim of the mentoring program is to increase the
awareness amongst high school students the
importance of science and engineering. The following document from the
University of South Australia discusses possible
reasons for the decline in the number of school
leavers entering science and technology courses
at universities, and looks at some initiatives
taken in Australia to reverse this trend.

Industrial Training
A select number of Peer Tutoring students have
the opportunity to continue their Compulsory
Industrial Training with eLabtronics in high end
microcontroller development and control
applications. eLabtronics won international
acclaims in Rapid Skills Development with their
patented and award winning (World Congress on IT
2002) CoreChart Technology which enables large
numbers of High School students to get an early
start in learning important microcontroller
development and application skills.
Final Year Project
eLabtronics offers a number of final year
industrial projects. The students are selected on
a competitive basis. Most of the projects are
innovative microcontroller based electronic
control and applications for a diverse range of
industries such as Information Communication
Technology (ICT), automotive, agriculture,
consumer products and more.
Enhanced
Employment Opportunities
It is now evident that a close and continued
affiliation between the students and eLabtronics
over a two year period of Peer Tutoring,
Industrial Training and Final Year Project
prepares them well and enhances their future
employment opportunities.
The quality industrial training has attracted
students from Queensland, Victoria, Malaysia,
Singapore, China and France.
