This week on Womanity-Women in Unity, Dr. Amaleya Goneos-Malka talks to Professor Elizabeth Makhatha, who is head of the Engineering Metallurgy Department in the Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment at the University of Johannesburg. Professor Makhatha walks us through her career journey, starting from humble beginnings fueled by dreams, hope and faith to turn her early curiosity into becoming a material scientist. She shares some of the important research projects underway in the department, which have strong practical implications in industry – from the automotive sector to the mining industry and health space.  She shares some of her views to encourage greater participation of women in STEM subjects. We discuss women in leadership and factors that contribute to equality and female empowerment. Tune in for more…

This week on Womanity – Women in Unity, Dr. Amaleya Goneos-Malka talks to Prof. Alison Lewis, the Dean for the Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment, University of Cape Town. We discuss some of the responsibilities that are associated with this position, including transformation and decolonisation at the University of Cape Town. Prof. Lewis highlights a few aspects of her research initiatives oriented around contaminated water, using methods to both purifying the water and contaminants into useful products. We also discuss the mutual benefits of fostering closer relationships between industry and academia.  We also consider elements that may improve the attractiveness of the engineering discipline to encourage more students to take up this field which has the potential to solve current 21st century problems.

This episode is recorded live during the Global Robocup from 2-8 July 2019 in Sydney, Australia. We are at the 2nd day of Robocup, where teams are preparing their robots and the volunteers are preparing the competition arenas. We talk with Lorenzo Saavedra and Cheryl Ouyang who are volunteers at Robocup 2019 and they are students at the Mechatronics department of UNSW in Sydney.

The SunbYte project aims to revolutionise solar telescope technology by creating a low cost telescope using novel manufacturing techniques such as 3D printing, Arduino controllers and Raspberry Pi computers. The Sunbyte project team is made up of an interdisciplinary student team from across the University of Sheffield.

The SunbYte project aims to revolutionise solar telescope technology by creating a low cost telescope using novel manufacturing techniques such as 3D printing, Arduino controllers and Raspberry Pi computers. Watch as the team uses a high altitude balloon, provided by the REXUS/BEXUS programme to lift our solar telescope above the interference of Earth’s lower atmosphere to observe the Sun.The Sunbyte project team is made up of an interdisciplinary student team from across the University of Sheffield. Find out how the team got on at the final stage of the project when they visited Sweden to launch their telescope into the earth's stratosphere along with other student projects from around Europe. Music is Star Eyes by urpleactus - licensed under a Creative Commons CC BY 3.0 license.
