WEX program

UTMOST has a very active program WEX (Work Experience) program for engineering students to spend time at the site working on a range of electrical, mechanical, electronic and other projects. Their enthusiasm and hard work has made a huge difference to the rollout of UTMOST. Students have spent time on site, ranging from a few weeks to 18 weeks, since early  2013, as part of the practical experience requirement for their engineering degrees.

There are a wide range of electronic, software, mechanical, electrical and radio frequency projects available on site.
