School of Engineering

UWS student Ryan Fitzpatrick awarded a NSW Graduate of the Year Award
Ryan's project "El" showcased forward thinking in the design and technological requirements associated with the hearing aid.

ARC Future Fellowship Grant
An ARC Future Fellowship grant  has been awarded to Professor Zhong Tao for his project ‘Behaviour and design of concrete filled stainless steel tubular columns at ambient and elevated temperatures’. 

PhD student puts steel into research
UWS PhD student, Olivia Mirza, hopes her research will contribute valuable new information about steel fibre reinforcing and encourage structural engineers to use the technology.

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. 

For more information, please see Capabilities brochure (PDF, 894Kb).

The School of Engineering offers programs on the Penrith (Kingswood) campus. 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.
