Staff and students enjoying the PVSOC annual dinner. 5.7 PVSOC One characteristic of the Centre which has led to the success of the educational programs is the friendly atmosphere that is engendered by being a small school with highly motivated academic and general staff. Students appreciate being able to form friendships and support networks with fellow students, as well as feeling comfortable and familiar with academic and administrative staff. PVSOC is a social committee established by the students which fosters this atmosphere with organised social events and activities to encourage student interaction. In 2005 the committee organised barbeques, pubcrawls, a soccer match, student participation in Solar House Day (organised by ANZSES), and fi nally the PVSOC Annual Dinner. More than 120 students and staff attended this dinner in November 2005 where fi nal year students were farewelled, staff thanked, and the 2006 PVSOC committee was elected. This dinner epitomised the sense of community that exists between students and staff within the Centre. 5.8 Promotional Activities The Centre regularly participates in promotional activities organised by the Faculty of Engineering and Student Recruitment at UNSW. These events are important for increasing awareness and interest in the Centre’s educational programs. In 2005 in addition to these annual events, staff in the School Offi ce also undertook a revision of promotional material for prospective students, and ran an Australia-wide Virtual World Solar Car Challenge for high school students. Two concepts used in the revision of promotional material for the Centre’s educational programs. 5.8.1 Print Media In order to increase the awareness of the Centre’s educational programs, in 2005, the Centre increased the number of advertisements in relevant Sydney Morning Herald publications. Colour advertisements were placed in the Earth and Environmental Science HSC Study Guide, the HSC Survival Magazine, the HSC Change of Preference Guide, and the HSC Universities Advisory and Information Day Guide. 5.8.2 Promotional Material Recognising that the Centre’s printed promotional material was inappropriate for attracting the attention of prospective students in the competitive tertiary marketplace, School Offi ce staff developed new promotional booklets which contained information pertinent to undergraduate, postgraduate, and research prospective students. These new colourful and eye-catching booklets were developed in consultation with current students, and contain student and graduate profi les, information on the Centre, its research and educational activities, and photovoltaic specifi c cartoons developed by a current research student. The feedback from current and prospective students on this promotional material has been very positive. 138
5.8.3 UNSW Information Day Local undergraduate students must apply for admission to UNSW programs through UAC, and the 5th January 2005 was the last day students could change their preferences for university degrees. Therefore the university hosted an information day on the 5th January to assist students obtain information to fi nalise their preferences. Centre administrative and academic staff attended this event and talked to many prospective students who were unsure of their career direction. Students received information on our programs and had the opportunity to ask questions of staff. 5.8.4 UNSW Courses and Careers Day UNSW Courses and Careers Day is the annual information day for prospective students to obtain information about programs and student life at the university. As part of this day academic and administrative staff from the Centre attended information desks in the Roundhouse to provide advice, and information to prospective students. During the day Dr Alistair Sproul also presented two lectures about the Centre’s programs as part of the lecture series organised centrally by the university. In order to increase the awareness of photovoltaic technology the Centre organised another couple of activities on the day. BP Solar was kind enough to lend the Centre a Solar Powered Ice-Cream Cart for the day which was used to distribute free ice-blocks to members of the public. Alongside the ice-cream cart the Centre displayed a solar cooker and a solar-powered water pump. Students staffed this display and talked about our educational programs. In addition to this the Centre, in collaboration with the Energy Management Unit at UNSW, also conducted tours of the inverter room for the recently installed photovoltaic array on the Quadrangle Building. The solar-powered ice-cream cart and solar-powered water pump display at Courses and Careers Day. The student-built solar cooker baking pumpkin and potato using only the sun and engineering. 139
