Our Faculty offers exciting and challenging opportunities and a secure future to women and men ready to take on the challenges of the millennium. Students complete common foundation and complementary units before selecting a pathway to one or more master's programs in:

Civil Engineering
Mechanical Engineering
Mining Engineering
Environmental Engineering
Chemical Engineering
Electronics and Communications Engineering

Civil and Resource Engineering

We are leaders in research in all major areas of Civil and Resource Engineering. We have established strong links with industry through our Futures Foundation, which is raising the profile of the discipline. Through industry funding we offer our students laptop computers with specialised software to complete their studies.

Engineering is the creative application of science and mathematics to design solutions for global challenges. At the undergraduate level we offer a major in Engineering Science. The Engineering Science major provides students with fundamental engineering skills and knowledge through a combination of practical, hands-on courses and industry-based projects. The Engineering Science major provides a direct pathway to the Master of Professional Engineering.

School of Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering (EECE)

As a discipline electrical engineering has been consistent over the last five decades in its rate of development and its contribution to new frontiers of knowledge in electrical, electronic and computer engineering.

The horizon of electrical engineering has expanded continuously and there is no sign of this expansion diminishing. In recent years, notable areas of development have been the evolution of micro-chip technology; the progression of computer technology from small beginnings to the dominant role that computers have today; the evolution of large scale electric energy networks; the evolution of high efficiency solar energy converters providing an alternative to non renewable sources; the rapidly expanding capacity to transmit and process information exploiting optical fibres and satellite communications; innovative instrumentation made possible by the microprocessor; the biomedical application of sensors and advanced signal and image processing techniques; and the developments in mobile information technology.

All these applications are in accord with Australia's future in high technology and industrial innovation. Our graduates are in high demand here in Australia and overseas, and if Australia is to be successful in its attempts to capitalise on its know-how in today's technology, this demand will continue to grow.

School of Environmental Systems Engineering

Our mission is to advance the scientific discipline of environmental systems engineering at an international level, through the provision of undergraduate and postgraduate training that enables and encourages our graduates. We participate actively in the production and dissemination of new knowledge through the promotion within the community of the important benefits of our research.

Mechanical and Chemical Engineering

Our School is renowned for our award-winning researchers, teachers and facilities. Our broad-based undergraduate and postgraduate programs are complemented by a wide range of research activities. We are a leader in developing graduates in the critical industries of energy, oil and gas.

Computer Science and Software Engineering

Since 1976 our School has produced graduates with expertise in computer programming and the methods involved in performing computations and processing data. We offer research opportunities in visualisation, wireless networks, adaptive systems, formal methods and software engineering.
