Description
The School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering is one of 10 Schools within the Faculty of Engineering at UNSW. With over 1200 students and 70 staff the School is one of the largest of its kind in the country. Due to its size, the School comprises a wide range of disciplines, which are related to mechanical and manufacturing engineering. The activities are centred around the undergraduate programs, which offer degrees in five areas of specialisation:
In addition, the School offers a variety of postgraduate degrees in coursework as well as in research. A vital part of the School's activities can be seen in its vigorous and diverse research programs. Research activities range from individual PhD projects to large multi-disciplinary research projects, complemented by the activities of the Advanced Manufacturing Cooperative Research Centre (AMCRC) and the Cooperative Research Centre for Advanced Composite Structures. The research is supported by well-equipped laboratories and their technical staff, which is a special feature of the School. Being a school of engineering, our activities are very application-oriented, and close collaboration with industry is an essential part of the School's strategy. Students and staff work in conjunction with industry in research as well as in teaching, or engineers working in industry undertake postgraduate studies in the School on a part-time basis. The collaboration also extends to the other engineering schools within the Faculty, which highlights the multi-disciplinary nature of the work, especially in product design and development. |
