Capabilities
We have one of Australia’s best laboratories for testing and monitoring for the construction and manufacturing industries, working with steel, plastics and their composites, polystyrene, alloys and timber.

We also offer capabilities for mechatronics, industrial design and small-scale production. A key industrial service is 3D printing to produce physical models and prototypes.

The School of Engineering offers programs on Blacktown and Penrith campuses. For information about the programs we offer and their availability, please see the College of Health and Science course directory.

The School of Engineering was established in January 2006, following the amalgamation of the former School of Engineering and Industrial Design and the School of Construction, Property and Planning.
