Successful societies benefit from the evolution and integration of cultural and social support
frameworks that improve the health and wellbeing of individuals and communities. WelTec’s
research staff are investigating the impact of social services, pastoral care, cultural identity
and community support on the overall wellbeing and success of members of society, our youth
and learners.

The treatment of addictions has
traditionally been dominated by
psychological approaches. With the
changing diversity of New Zealand’s
population and a shift in belief systems,
health services support workers need to
be aware of differing views on addictions
and alcohol and drug usage. Tony
Carton’s research explores the shift from
western to non-western belief systems in
the addiction and counselling workplace.
This innovative research approach
to counselling seeks to highlight
the potential benefits of alternative
approaches to addressing addiction by
casting a sociological perspective over
the area of alcohol and other drugs, use,
abuse, misuse and addictions.
The sustainability of societies relies on
supporting the health and wellbeing of
our young people. An initiative designed
to tackle alcohol use by young people
was launched at WelTec by the Regional
Public Health’s Community Action on
Youth and Drugs (CAYAD). As part of
this initiative, Mirjana Vilke and Damien
Pivac, together with Anna Tonks from
CAYAD, evaluated the effectiveness of
using social norm marketing to challenge
the perceptions of alcohol consumption.
The outcomes of this work indicated
that the approach strongly encouraged
students to reflect on their own drinking
practices in a positive environment and
opens up the door to developing more
initiatives of this nature in the future.
The lives of most young New Zealanders
are influenced by socio-cultural ideas
and lifestyles of the Western and Māori
and Pasifika communities. Fiona Beals
explores how a mix of approaches
from both worlds could be effectively
combined to find new, positive,
and powerful approaches to youth
development practice and youth work,
and to enhance the lives of our young
people.
A major focus for our Māori and Pasifika
researchers is the impact of cultural and
community involvement in supporting
our Māori and Pasifika learners. By
looking at how meeting with whanau,
undertaking course components on
the Marae, and culturally-directed
mentoring and pastoral care impacts on
student completions, Hinemoa Priest,
David Lomax, Susan Luke and Rangi
Luke are identifying best practice to
optimise positive learning experiences
and success. Tavita Filemoni is looking
at how Pasifika learners benefit from
wider support from the Pasifika
community through delivery of pastoral
care services by a Church minister on
campus, thus establishing a community
environment of care. Arden Perrot has
been exploring the ways that Pasifika
students overcome academic failure
at secondary school to transform their
lives to become successful postgraduate
students at university. This work has
allowed Arden to propose a model based
on the students’ positive influences that
he and his colleagues can use to enrich
their teaching.

At WelTec we foster technology-based research, development, and innovation. Researchers
are building research, development and testing capabilities that support both institutional and
industry-led initiatives. From how to approach big data management through to new product
design and prototype manufacture, technology is a fundamental component of our applied
research platform.

Our use of smartphone and web applications
is generating ever-increasing amounts
of information. The fast paced change in
information gathering and dissemination
means controlling the use of this information
is a challenge.
Steve McKinlay’s research asks the question
“Should the public be able to use private
information in a way that was originally
unintended?” By challenging traditional
thought around information management
and privacy, Steve is raising the issues
around the untethered use of this information
and highlighting the potential need for the
development of ethical guidelines.
Waqar Khan
Establishing a platform for designing
mobile robots opens up opportunities
with high technology industry partners in
manufacturing, or creative animatronics
projects. Frank Beinersdorf is designing,
building and testing protoypes of mobile
robotic creatures capable of mimicking
real-life creatures that can travel across
difficult terrain. His research has the
potential to make its mark in the high value
manufacturing industry where there is a
demand for exploratory craft for use in
challenging environments.
Accurate detection and tracking of
pedestrians and vehicles is paramount
for driver assistance systems designed to
improve driver and public safety. In this
case the timing of the warning to brake
is critical, too early and it can distract the
driver or too late and accidents can happen.
Waqar Khan’s research aims to improve the
accuracy of driver assistance systems using
stereo-vision as a cost-effective solution
to delivering improved assisted braking
response times for the highly competitive
automotive industry.

Exposing,
sharing
and
connecting
information using the web can enable
us to access and use it for a number of
wider applications that may not have been
previously considered.
By using next
generation of web technology, Reza Moosa
is developing information management
systems that will allow institutions to
centralise and connect information that
they wish to share with a more open and
user friendly interface. By creating seamless
links between the information, this research
uses the “next generation of web” approach
that allows information to be viewed in a
dramatically new and different way.
WelTec’s staff are involved in a range of
research and development projects in
partnership with external industry partners
and working across our different disciplines.
Creative Technology staff member Darren
Ward is working with engineer Frans
Weehuizen and the Hutt City Council to
design and develop a prototype solar
mobile phone charging station, while Frans
Weehuizen is also involved in developing a
prototype simulator for use in training health
professionals. The development of testing
platforms for industry is also an active area
of research and development at WelTec
with Martin Kelly successfully delivering a
robust product testing plaform for plumbing
industry partners.

At WelTec, our staff are encouraged
to inform the evolution of their
creative practice through the
exploration of new theories,
concepts and methodologies.
Practice-based research enables
our creative researchers to
challenge
the
conventional
concept of society and familiarity
and, investigate the translation of
traditional cultural practices into a
contemporary context.
Everyday objects and their material
existence are a common focus of art
practice. In their workshops and studios
our staff bring together improvised
collections and combine objects in
unusual ways in a process called
bricolage. This is the creative approach
embraced by Malcolm Doidge, as part
of his Master of Fine Arts. Through the
exhibition work “Conversations with
Strangers: Performing the Broom and
the Bricoleur”, Malcolm investigates
the reinterpretation of sculpture using
performance and experimentation with
camera technologies and a yard broom
to explore DIY consumer culture and
public perception.
Darren Ward

Bricolage is also integral to the
interdisciplinary visual arts practice of Adi
Brown which centres on examinations of
the uncanny. This research experiments
with the idea of the familiar made
strange through eccentric juxtapositions
of everyday materials, objects and
images. Different methods of play are
used to examine uncanny aesthetic
using two and three dimensional works
constructed from everyday materials.
Adi presents her work in exhibitions
under the title ‘Uncanny Urges’ and
has been working with this concept to
produce photographic and object-based
art works since 2012.
Supanun Supphawut looks to explore the
relationship between cultural identity
and letterform (shape) in a modern
context. His work seeks to re-interpret
the expression of his native Thai
language using new forms of technology.
By taking the concept of the loop
which is prominent in Thai letterform,
and weaving in historical and cultural
contexts, Supanun has been developing
contemporary ways to manifest the
language as different visual forms in his
work “ฅ.คน: A loop of Siam” exhibited
at the Master of Fine Arts exhibition
“Exposure”.
A primary belief which impacts on the
research of our creative practitioners
is that the modern world has lost
touch with, and respect for, the natural
world. Gareth McGhie’s art practice is
influenced by this view and reflected
in his contemporary Māori carvings,
intended for personal adornment. He
continually evolves his practice by
combining traditional materials with
new tools, materials and processes.
Darren Ward’s creative research is
also expressed through contemporary
interpretation of Māori sculpture and
design. Studying aesthetics around
the city, he explores how Māori art is
expressed through unique materials and
forms in the modern environment.
Communities are the cornerstone of
society. Grant Corbishley has been
investigating the impact of art as
a conduit for re-establishing the
connectivity between people within a
community and the community with
their local environment. By initiating
numerous collaborative art and design
Supanun Supphawut
projects in the Houghton Bay area of
Wellington, and creating a narrative
around the people and their interactions
with his research installations, each other
and the environment, Grant Corbishley
has been investigating how his research
practice stimulates a community of
care to ensure enduring community
stewardship into the future.

Sustainable development “meets the needs and aspirations of the present without compromising
the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” (Brundtland Report, 1987). Researchers
across WelTec are actively engaged in a range of exploratory projects designed to inform and
develop sustainable practices in housing, business and environmental management.
Sustainable Design
Built Environment researchers are exploring
new approaches in the construction of housing for New Zealanders that delivers both a
sustainable and safe environment. Building
methods that are safe in earthquake-prone
areas, and easily repairable is very much
the focus for Richard Foreman’s research.
Richard’s current focus is investigating the
suitability of using post-tensioned timber in
laminated timber buildings in New Zealand’s
challenging conditions.
Following natural disasters, there is usually
a demand for emergency housing. Bruce
Haniel believes the answer lies in the
development of a method of constructing
simple low-cost houses that deliver high
quality and performance without the need
for specialist building skills. By developing
an interlocking jointing system that is
rapid and easy to assemble, the pre-cut
houses would be able to be assembled
by non-builders, thus allowing for a more
rapid response in delivering emergency
housing following major disasters as well as
alleviating situational housing shortages.
The increasing aged care population in
New Zealand is creating a demand for
housing that will meet the needs of an
older age group. To meet this demand,
Reo Tanaka is investigating approaches for
designing sustainable housing complexes
that provide quality-of-life care for their
aged residents. His research looks at how
residential complexes can be designed and
Induka Werellagama

built with low-impact on the environment
incorporating sustainable materials and reusing resources.
Business Sustainability
With tourism now being the country’s number
one economic earner, looking after our
visitors is of major benefit to New Zealand.
Recognising the needs of independent
Chinese travellers who visit New Zealand
will help tourism providers ensure they can
effectively cater for increasing growth in
this expanding market. Adam Ransfield and
Jamie Smiler are looking to provide valuable
information to industry through their study
into the needs and travel experiences of
independent Chinese travellers. The results
of this work will help the tourism industry
better serve this growing group of travellers,
guaranteeing sustainable benefits for New
Zealand’s tourism industry.
Customer safety is an important component
in the organization and successful provision
of activities, events and services, from major
sports events to holidaying on a cruise
ship. Cyril Peter is currently investigating
the perception of acceptable security from
the consumer viewpoint to help inform
businesses of customer expectations around
personal safety. Through interviews with
customers, Cyril has identified that they
may have a more relaxed view around their
safety than initially believed. Ongoing work
will provide key information to compare
regulatory requirements with individual
expectations when developing appropriate
safety guidelines to ensure best practice for
best experience.
at events that can be adopted by local
councils. Working with major stakeholders
including event audiences, event organisers,
and local councils, this is an opportunity to
influence decision-makers and contribute
to the development of sustainable best
practice waste management methodology at
New Zealand events.
Well-designed wetland areas such as
Waitangi Park in Wellington city can be
developed sustainably and have ecological
and social features that the public can enjoy.
Wetland areas have the potential to be used
to manage large changes in stormwater
levels. To identify new wetland areas
suitable for effective water management
we need to ascertain if there is sufficient
capacity and efficiency to cope with high
water levels and fluctuations in water quality.
Induka Werellagama is using mathematical
modelling to investigate whether new
wetland areas have the potential for more
effective stormwater management.

Environmental Sustainability
Ever thought about what happens to
the waste that is generated at a major
event in your city or region? By observing
current waste management practices,
Joany Grima and Leanne Nicholas are
gathering information that will assist in
the development of a minimum standard
approach for sustainable waste management

As a provider of professional and trades training, vocational education is a key focus of research
undertaken by our staff. This research platform aims to inform vocational teaching practice
across the ITP sector by investigating how we teach, how students learn and, developing the
tools and resources required for successful learning outcomes.

Language, Literacy and Numeracy
Evaluation and environment
In any profession we find specialised
language that needs to be mastered to
communicate effectively in the workplace.
Launched in 2014 in collaboration with
Victoria University of Wellington, our
“Language in the Trades” project led by
James Mackay has been investigating
the language of tutors and students, the
vocabulary they use, and the diagrams and
visual content in the text. Findings from this
ongoing study are being used to develop
teaching resources that support students
to acquire the specialist language and
vocabulary they need for their specific trade.
The development of a framework to gain
a deeper insight of the learner and their
learning methods helps to ensure a higher
degree of educational success. Enabling
students to identify gaps in their own
learning and supporting them to develop
strategies to achieve the learning outcomes
of their course work has been the focus of
Leah Seno’s research. As a result of Leah’s
study, students have significantly improved
their understanding of learning goals and
their confidence in developing plans to reach
those goals, leading to overall improved
results.
Misunderstanding critical information can
lead to non-compliance and negatively impact
on wellbeing. In the rapidly changing world
of communication many New Zealanders do
not have the wider literacy skills required to
fully absorb and understand the plethora of
information around them. Aleeshea Reid and
Emma McLaughlin are working with support
agencies to gain a better understanding of
the literacy challenges faced by their clients.
This knowledge will be used to inform
organisations when developing appropriate
strategies for communicating to their clients
more effectively.
Online learning in tertiary education has
grown exponentially over the past decade.
Maria Ulloa, Paula Foreman and Christine
Jones are undertaking research that explores
and identifies different aspects of online
learning and the overall relationship with
academic achievement. Looking at student
engagement, participation and interaction
will inform the continual development of
the online environment. This will create
successful and positive learning experiences
and maximises engagement and academic
success.
Teacher development
Many professions require basic levels of
numeracy to succeed in a modern society
where the ability to carry out calculations
correctly and with confidence is essential
to avoid negative outcomes arising from
calculation errors. Our tutors and learning
advisors have identified that many students
have negative learning experiences and
anxiety towards performing mathematical
calculations. James Mackay, Mary Fawcett,
Mervyn Protheroe and Fiona Breen are
investigating the impact of maths anxiety
on student performance. The goal of this
research is to develop strategies and
resources that improve numeracy skills and
confidence to support successful teaching
and learning.
Professional development is key to ensuring
that teachers have the latest tools and
experience to teach effectively. Professional
development often focusses on building the
skills of new teachers with limited suitable
opportunities being available to more
established senior staff. Gerard Duignan
is leading a multi-institutional study that
is focussed on identifying the professional
development needs of
experienced
teachers across different ITPs. The aim of
this research is to inform organisations on
the best ways to better support teachers to
expand their capabilities and remain up-todate.

Student Research
Our students continue to work on high quality,
industry relevant projects with support from their
supervisors (brackets).
Bachelor of Engineering Technology final year
students carry out a full year project with an
industry partner. Electrical major students:
Hannes Booyse (Frans Weehuizen) developed a
solar-powered Large Bird GPS Tracker to track
the movements of migratory birds reducing the
manpower and logistics required in the field;
Michael Jonassen (John Wray) designed a
substation automation system to preserve the
security of the power distribution network in the
north-west region of Wellington to relieve the
stress created during peak periods of demand;
and Quang Pham (Adrian Ferguson) designed
and implemented an extruder that re-used and
recycled plastics for a 3D printer.
Civil major students undertake projects often
with local government bodies; Simon Wills (Bob
McGrath) designed an eco-sensitive stormwater
system for the proposed Marshlands School
that needed to meet the expectations of the
school and the requirements of the Christchurch
City Council; while Ethan Coleman (Richard
Greenfield) proposed and designed a Post
Tensioned Farm Bridge; and Kapadia Riyaz (Bob
McGrath) investigated a system for the treatment
of grey-water.
Mechanical major student, Derek McElwee
(Gareth Gretton) investigated the stresses in a
sport truck chassis and built and tested a system
to measure direct strain on the chassis; Rocky
O’Keeffe designed an articulated tractor for a
Wairarapa eco-village that could work in a small
restricted space for loading woodchips into a
biomass energy generation processor; while Ben
Payne (Frank Cook) developed a Ultra-High
Efficiency Hydrogen Water Heater that heats
water using hydrogen as a fuel source.
Bachelor of Information Technology students
also undertake a variety of significant projects in
their third year. Paul Tuterangi (Ian Armstrong)
developed a monitoring service targeted at
collecting evidence of malicious activity on
networks; Alwin Francis and Chunxi He’s
(Reza Moosa) project focussed on the security
infrastructure and user interface design for a
student alumni system; another project by Ernest
Cunningham, Daniel Grey and Stacey McLean
(Ian Hunter) used voiceover technology and
locator beacons to assist the vision impaired by
informing them of their location so that they feel
confident and safe navigating around their local
community.
Vasudeva Ammineni, Srikanth Challagundia
and Yadwinder Singh (Rhys Owen) worked
with developers of a leading-edge wind turbine
to develop an inexpensive power generator
and a system to connect to controls to that
track, optimise and report power generation
performance; while Jonnie Graham, Ella Liang,
Javen Liu and Dave Smith (Steve McKinlay)
created a data visualisation tool for configuration
databases optimising data validation, assessing
sources ad matching. Other groups carried out
projects developing apps for the classroom,
DIY handymen, and mobile fitness, while others
developed management and reporting systems
for school sports teams, schools or early childhood
centres.
Bachelor of Creative Technologies students
take their inspiration from experiences, the past,
environments, and their interests as a focus
for their creativity in their different disciplines.
Animation student Tim Ahern’s (Supanun
Supphawut) work ‘The Static Dynamic’ took
inspiration from character design by modelling;
visual artist Yu Ping Pan (Adi Brown) was inspired
by the use of incense in eastern ritual to develop
a series of drawings ‘Believe’ using incense sticks
to draw on transparent paper; while Luke Mclean
(Darren Ward) combined childhood influences
and virtual reality gaming technology to create
an interactive comic book ‘The Samurai Guardian’;
and Wikitoria Rakete (Craig Anderson) found
inspiration for her contemporary Maori longboard
designs from her heritage and surroundings.
Photography student Ash Rockett (Deidra
Sullivan) designed a photographic book ‘An Other
Life’ showcasing unusual or unexpected elements
of New Zealand society that he has experienced
as an immigrant from the United Kingdom; while
Kylie Cassidy (Deidra Sullivan) combined her
passion for graphic design and photographing
familes and children to create a series of templates
for photographic books she called ‘Tiny Fantail
Print’.
Graphic designer Erin McGarvey’s (Craig
Anderson) fascination with typeface design
motivated an examination of the role of language
and writing in shaping New Zealand’s history,
culture and identity, using typography as a tool
she designed the typeface ‘New Zealand Gothic’
as a manifestation of our identity. Starting with
sketches, Yu Ning Chang (Grant Corbishley)
evolved them into ‘Chocolate Soap Packaging’
design using a combination of graphic and 3D
design, for a product not normally known for
innovative packaging.
Film-maker Jordan Griffiths (Grant Corbishley)
focussed on the physical elements of film-making
and created a time lapse of the night sky ‘Cephei’,
to question the perception of time and our powers
of observation; while Keely Skinner (Deidra
Sullivan) created a micro documentary exploring
Wellington’s largest and tallest fully wooden
marae, ‘Tapu Te Ranga Marae’, situated in Island
Bay and built from recycled materials.
Three years of study for Bachelor of Creative
Technologies students culminated in their final
year exhibition ‘Collidescope’ featuring works in
visual arts, graphic design, photography, digital
design, animation, and film. ‘Collidescope’ 2015
was held at The New Zealand Portrait Gallery on
the Wellington waterfront.
