As part of a world-leading, research-intensive university, we are renowned for our innovation, education and enterprise. Our achievements date back to 1882, ranging from working with Formula 1 to the first human-powered flight.
Engineers from University of Southampton have powered a 15m-long unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) which has completed completed its first fully autonomous flight in Portsmouth:
This week our first-year civil engineering students took part in the Constructionarium challenge at the Construction Training Board's site in Norfolk, where they built a scaled-down version of a famous structure. Here are some photos from previous challenges:
Earlier this month we hosted an international conference to mark 50 years of Ship Science at University of Southampton. We were joined by Ship Science, Nautical Studies and Maritime Engineering Sciences alumni to celebrate:
Congratulations to Yew Jun Ying, a current third year Mechanical Engineering student here at University of Southampton, who has won the electrical challenge in this years' The Telegraph STEM Awards for his research into how we can cool and manage waste heat from aircraft:
Well done to all of our third-year students who are handing in their Individual Projects today!
The AudioScenic spinout, which combines academic expertise with commercial leadership, is using technology uses destructive and constructive sound cancellation techniques to produce realistic 3D audio from a single, compact soundbar:
This month students from our CubeSat project attended a workshop at the ESA - European Space Agency in Belgium.
Our CubeSat project has been in development since 2014, and the student team are working towards launching the satellite from the ISS in 2020. The workshop was to prepare students for future milestones of the programme through a series of lectures, practical exercises and demos, and presentations.
