150 years of engineering education

In 2011 the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology celebrated 150 years of engineering education.

The Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology capped a wonderful year of 150th Anniversary celebrations with a Gala Dinner in The Great Hall of the National Gallery of Victoria. Almost 500 guests, including His Excellency, the Governor of Victoria, and many alumni, industry partners and staff, braved a stormy Melbourne night on the 28th of October to attend.

These videos were made to celebrate 150 years of engineering education at the University of Melbourne and were first presented at our 150th Gala Dinner.
