Discipline Awards

The Endeavour Discipline Awards are generously funded by the Melbourne Engineering and Information Technology Foundation, which provides ongoing scholarships and prizes based on academic merit and financial need. The Foundation focuses on building financial and community support through partnerships with industry, alumni, and other groups committed to enhancing the student experience within the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology.

The Discipline Awards will be presented across a range of fields, including:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Chemical Engineering
  • Computing and Information Systems Engineering
  • Electrical and Electronic Engineering
  • Engineering Management
  • Industrial Engineering
  • Infrastructure Engineering
  • Mechanical Engineering
  • Mechatronic Engineering

Please note: disciplines may vary depending on participation in each category.

All exhibiting project teams are automatically considered for these awards - no separate application is required. 

Throughout the semester, Project Supervisors will review your work (without notifying you), and judges will shortlist projects based on these reviews.  Please note, shortlisted teams will not be notified.

Judges will visit shortlisted teams during the Endeavour Exhibition’s public opening hours on Wednesday, 27 May 2026, so have your pitch ready! Winners will be announced at the Endeavour Awards Ceremony that same evening.
