Kia ora koutou and welcome. This booklet contains the abstracts presented at the 2022 CEID Research Symposium. This event has been revived after a lapse of several years. Research in CEID encompasses a variety of disciplines such as:
• Engineering education
• Electrical engineering
• Mechanical engineering
• Civil engineering
Applied research and cross-disciplinary research is encouraged in CEID. Technology and innovation is one of the major themes (e.g. sports engineering, biomedical, electrical power, materials, robotics and automation). In addition to this, sustainability and environmental issues are important to CEID research. This is reflected in the symposium abstracts.
The aim of the symposium is to promote the sharing of research ideas and progress in a “friendly” environment. It also informs the Research Leader, Team Manager, and Centre/Group Director of research progress within the centre. It is anticipated that researchers will expand their abstracts into conference/journal papers in due course.
