What does a kangaroo tattoo have to do with Engineering? Find out more inside. A staple technology in science fiction for generations is getting closer to reality thanks to a small research lab in the Faculty of Engineering.
Nanobionics bridges the gap between electronic and biological systems by using microscopic nanofibres one-thousandth the diameter of a strand of hair and combining them with synthetic DNA segments.
Professor Wenlong Cheng and his team have already used this technology to create a flexible wearable sensor that could soon make the ubiquitous fitness wristband obsolete. But wearable technology is only a first-step to true integration. Imagine a day when tattoos are not just for aesthetic purposes. You could Contents have a kangaroo tattoo reporting all of your vital statistics to you or your doctor. Or you might decide that you use the logo of your favourite sports club.
Nanobionics could also play a key role in monitoring 2 Engineering: making things happen patients with a heart condition, or as a non-invasive tool to assist in the fight against cancer.

1 Engineers are creative, imaginative, analytical and technical, Engineering: with excellent teamwork skills. As an engineer you will apply science and mathematics in a practical way to develop new things technologies and improve existing ones. making Engineers solve problems, figure out how things work A career in engineering will suit you if you: and create solutions. They are key to the development of society and solving the challenges the world currently are curious about how things work faces such as climate change, natural resource depletion, like and are good at maths and science happen food shortages and increased demands on energy. enjoy challenges Engineers possess a rare combination of skills and qualities that place them in demand in many different are goal oriented industries. An engineer’s career is diverse, interesting and can be anywhere in the world. like working with lots of different people in multidisciplinary teams As a qualified engineer you will be equipped to work in many areas outside of engineering such as management, like analysing and solving problems banking and consulting. Some engineers go on to have an interest in improving the quality become CEOs of major corporations. Almost 20 per cent of human life. of CEOs of ASX100 companies are engineers. Problem solving and planning skills, combined with a focus on the future and continuous improvement, make engineers competent business leaders. MONASH ENGINEERING M onash ENGINEERING

“One of my fondest memories at Monash was designing and building components and systems for a formula style race car with the Monash Motorsport team. This experience was invaluable in getting me to where I am today. This was a great exercise to see a project through from concept to completion and creatively come up with solutions to issues.”
