Faculty of Engineering, Architecture and Information Technology
Thank you
The last year has once again seen significant growth in the number of meaningful connections we have been able to make with our alumni and friends. Our investment in alumni engagement has grown to ensure that we can continue to expand our activities and offer support to our many friends all over the world. I know from the many activities I have been involved in and hosted that there is real warmth towards UQ amongst its graduates and a real desire to help us achieve our goals as a world-leading provider of higher education and research.
What I can state with clarity is that the support we receive from our alumni and friends is making a real and lasting difference at UQ: enhancing our ability to offer worldclass education opportunities to students on the basis of ability through scholarships, prizes and bursaries, whilst at the same time ensuring we maintain our position as a leading research organisation.
I am very pleased to be able to say that 2015 has been an outstanding year for philanthropic support of the Faculty. I hope this report will give you a greater appreciation of how your support plays a vital role in keeping The University of Queensland’s engineering, architecture, design and technology at the leading edge of innovation, both in education and research.
It is not too simplistic to say that we can only continue both these ambitions with your help and so I give you our heartfelt thanks for all of the support we have received. Your philanthropy is providing leadership and inspiration to others in supporting the educational and career aspirations of the next generation.
Warmly, Professor Simon Biggs Executive Dean Faculty of Engineering, Architecture and Information Technology

Advancing philanthropy It has well been said that philanthropy is a highly leveraged investment. Through your gifts, together, we are making a difference in individual lives and making our world a better place to live. As the new Director of Advancement at the Faculty of Engineering, Architecture and Information Technology, it is a privilege to thank each of you, our donors, for your contribution towards making the lives of so many, better. I am still learning the full extent and details of what you have helped to make happen and the more I learn, the more excited I am about what we can accomplish together. As important as these gifts are, we also appreciate the implied message you send with your gift – that working together we can make significant improvements in our world. Scholarships and prizes encourage gifted students, who might otherwise not have the opportunity to pursue a career in engineering, architecture or IT, to study their chosen field. They also serve to recognise the accomplishments of our students and inspire them to strive for even greater heights. Funding for research at EAIT makes possible the technology breakthroughs that address the pressing challenges of our day. Already, these
technologies are making a difference in millions of lives in areas that include breakthroughs in the treatment of cancer, cleaner water, air and power, and the creation of technologies that make the workplace and our world safer. This year, we have articulated some broader, multi-disciplinary areas of priority, where we believe the Faculty as a whole can have significant impact. These priority areas include our work in Sustainable Futures, much needed upgrades in studio space for Architecture, scholarships and mobility programs, a new program in the Business of Engineering, a Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, and funds for pioneering and emerging research. I look forward to meeting each of you and to expressing my personal thanks for your gifts and for your belief in our work. I hope that you might drop me a line to let me know the kind of difference you would like to have at your University.

A gift from the Class of 2015 The Engineering Class Gift initiative provided us, the graduating class, with a way to leave a legacy for future students – a positive impact on University life. As graduating donors, we hope to foster the professional development of future engineers through the creation of a space dedicated to industry events. Thanks to 110 donations from students, alumni and staff, our gift to future student engineers and alumni is the installation of a permanent BBQ, which will provide an enhanced experience for those hosting industry seminars and class reunions.

From UQ's sombre red brick engineering buildings in George Street, to the present state of the art engineering complex at St Lucia, I am delighted to see the progress that has been made. I trust that my donation to this year’s Engineering Class Gift will inspire future students to never forget what The University of Queensland gave to them. CLAUDE REGHENZANI (BE 1960) Alumnus and donor to the 2015 Engineering Class Gift initiative

Each year the best student design work is exhibited to the public and to the architectural profession. Many architects have contributed to the students’ education through teaching and part-time employment. For graduating students this is the moment where they show the profession who they are and what they are capable of. With such a strong and ongoing relationship between the School and industry, each year we see architectural practices supporting the exhibition though philanthropy and sponsorship, and welcoming graduates into the architectural community.

Receiving the Bill Blake Bursary meant that I no longer had to let my financial situation detract from my education. I'm now even able to consider going on an exchange and making the most of my time at university. KYLE BISHOP Engineering student and bursary recipient
The Bill Blake Bursary in Civil Engineering 8
After six years working as a design engineer, Bill Blake (BE 1977; BCom 1978; BLaws 1990) began studying law at UQ. The following year, 1985, he was invited to join the Construction Law Group at the legal firm, Morris, Fletcher and Cross, working there fulltime, while completing his law degree. This was no farewell to engineering, but the beginning of a lifetime of professional commitment to the engineering profession. He showed engineers they could work within legal and contractual requirements to deliver what was best for their project. He supported the profession through participation on national groups within the Institution of Engineers Australia, applying his knowledge to the broader profession.
Bill and I highly valued education. It’s been a privilege to establish The Bill Blake Bursary in Civil Engineering to honour Bill, but more importantly, to support the education of a civil engineering student, so that education can give them greater life choices. The highlight of 2015 was meeting Kyle Bishop, the Bursary’s first recipient. I was thrilled to meet such an enthusiastic young man, and to know that, through Bill’s memory, we can support the education of another engineer. ANASTASIA BLAKE Donor

Last year I was fortunate to be awarded a scholarship from Agility Applications to study the Bachelor of Multimedia Design. This was incredibly helpful when I moved to Brisbane and had to set myself up for university – amongst my first purchases were a laptop, printer, a Wi-Fi modem and a subscription for the Adobe Suite. Of all these purchases, the most invaluable were the lenses for my glasses – which I would definitely have struggled without. I’m so grateful I was given the opportunity to focus on my studies without the extra financial burden. Over the Christmas break, I was also given the opportunity to work at Agility Applications. I have been compiling product profiles and working on redesigning and implementing the company website. While challenging, I couldn’t have asked for better support to keep on top of my coding skills!
As former students of UQ who got to experience what a great environment the University provides, it seemed natural for us to assist someone else in having that same experience. Our hope is that our gift takes away enough of the financial burden of relocating to Brisbane to free the student up to enjoy their time at UQ and learn as much about themselves and what they want to achieve. We also hope that by offering scholarships for study in IT, that it encourages students to pursue IT as a study and career choice.

The WSP Parsons Brinckerhoff Scholarship for Women in Engineering Receiving an industry scholarship with Parsons Brinckerhoff has been invaluable to my professional and personal development. The financial aid has been particularly helpful with costs associated with living away from my home in Far North Queensland, enabling me to focus on my studies, community involvement, volunteering and maintaining a healthy work-life balance. The scholarship has opened a world of networking opportunities and industry links to me, as well as giving me insight into the engineering profession. RUBY FITZ Engineering student and scholarship recipient 14
The donations that my wife, Judith, and I originally made to the University’s medical Faculty were influenced by my having survived four melanomas. As a result of being on ‘melanoma watch’ following treatment, I was hugely impressed by the collaboration of all involved UQ faculties in the Translational Research Institute (TRI). The TRI practices ‘concentrating on the greatest possible collaboration between cancer researchers in seeking real answers rather than researchers competing to be the first to make meaningful discoveries.’ When this involved engineering researchers collaborating with medical researchers, and with the aim of an early detection of potential incipient melanomaforming skin imperfections by a particular laser wave-length, as an engineer myself I was excited to be able to direct additional donations to support this important research.

Through their philanthropy, the Hull family have provided a number of early career researchers within our Faculty the opportunity to build and strengthen their research. In 2015, three early career researchers were awarded funding for their biomedical engineering projects focused on developing medical devices for diagnostic imaging. A fourth engineer was awarded funds for a project investigating the effectiveness of reactive coatings under fire conditions. The Hull’s support ensures that these proof of concept studies and prototype device development work, which can then be leveraged to apply for more substantial funding and larger-scale application. Investment in young researchers is vitally important as they are the drivers of transformative research that will impact on the health and welfare of our communities. Moreover these talented researchers are the future of innovation in Australia. PROFESSOR STUART CROZIER Associate Dean (Research) Faculty of Engineering, Architecture and Information Technology

The support that the Hull family has provided has been invaluable. It has enabled me to develop a prototype device for monitoring physiology during sleep which has facilitated collaborations with world experts in the field. Currently we are testing the device in clinical trial and we hope that it will form the basis of some exciting and clinically relevant tools for sleep and respiratory medicine.

The Icarus Program was one of the many initiatives from the Regular Giving Funds that have benefited from collective alumni support through class reunion gifts‌ The Icarus Program not only provided us with the core knowledge and skills to apply to engineering situations, but also incorporated innovative learnings from other disciplines. This unique experience has helped me develop my personal, academic and professional skills, while at the same time helping me to create strong relationships with other likeminded students. We help each other, improve together and share our successes.

After the semester ended, the Program assisted in enabling me to attend the 2016 Engineers Without Borders (EWB) Cambodia Humanitarian Design Summit where I learnt a lot about humanitarian engineering and human centred design. Through this experience I see that my engineering skills can create change within society. KEVIN PLASENCIA UQ civil engineering student

University life has always been as much about what happens outside lectures, as what happens in them. Whether it's participating in the Mining Games, heading overseas on an internship, or launching a new student society — the John Simmons Mobility Fund will have a huge impact on transforming the lives of young people in the School of Mechanical and Mining Engineering who might otherwise miss out due to financial or personal constraints.

Diversity
Women in Action Fund The Women in Action Fund supports female engineering, design and technology students to engage in community and industry based experiences — via study tours, student exchange, and short-term professional and personal development experiences. By mobilising our best and brightest female talent, we hope to nurture young women who aspire to careers in these fields, and positively action diversity change beyond the university environment.

Advanced Water Management Centre
Innovations in Water Research The Innovations in Water Fund has been established to enable UQ alumni, industry partners and friends — who are passionate about making a difference to our 'water future' — to philanthropically support the next generation of emerging talent.

Architecture
The UQ 'Social Outreach Studio' (SOS) Fund The UQ SOS Fund supports current architecture students to deliver — through great design solutions — real benefits for people facing social or economic disadvantage. Funds will be used to assist students with the cost of materials, travel, exhibitions and community reporting — in program areas such as those undertaken in rural, Aboriginal, and Pacific Island communities.
