Faculty of Engineering, Maths and Computer Sciences
The Faculty of Engineering, Computer and Mathematical Sciences provides high quality teaching and research in strategically chosen areas of Engineering, Computer Science and Mathematics. Graduates from this Faculty are highly regarded by employers and have been successful in a variety of areas. The academic staff of the Faculty are world leaders in their disciplines, staff who actively contribute to real-world problems through consulting and advanced fundamental and applied research.
The Faculty has close links with industry, and its research is well supported by grants and contracts from both government and the private sector. Many of its technological breakthroughs form the basis of independent companies with University shareholding or joint venture agreements with industry both in Australia and overseas.
The Faculty of ECMS has a reputation for innovative research across a wide range of fields. While research can be described within each School, the Faculty also has a number of cross discipline research groupings. These groupings bring together researchers from a variety of backgrounds to tackle larger research problems. In addition, the Faculty has several research centres specialising in particular areas of expertise.
The 2010 ERA results confirmed that the Facuty of Engineering, Computer and Mathematical Sciences is home to high quality research. Scores of 4 (performance above world standard) were awarded in the following areas (see more about ERA 2010):
- Civil Engineering
- Pure Mathematics
- Artificial Intelligence and Image Processing
The 2010 ERA results reiterate the world-class position of the Faculty of Engineering, Computer and Mathematical Sciences, and indicate the facilities, resources, research support and infrastructure in place, and under development, are optimal in fostering creative, innovative and highly respected research advances.
