Student success
In 2010, a team of Swinburne students placed second in the International iNexus Robot competition. The team designed and built a robot that could collect rock samples on Mars, replicating a key part of the Mars Manoeuvre spacecraft mission.Swinburne engineering students also placed second in the Formula SAE competition in 2010, which involved designing, building and racing a formula race car against other university teams.
