Education

Educating for a digital future

The Digital Sciences Initiative is changing what we teach, the way we teach it, and who we teach. The Initiative is fully embedding the digital sciences and technologies across the entire Faculty of Engineering curriculum, delivering highly-trained digital-literate graduates across civil, mechanical, electrical, chemical and biomedical engineering disciplines.

The Digital Sciences Initiative is introducing new ways of delivering digital education:

• through the provision of student-focused creative design and contemporary maker spaces with emphasis on innovation and the “digitalisation” of professions for which our students are being prepared;
• through broader collaboration across digital sciences, enabling students to have more opportunity to engage directly with industry and professional practice. The Initiative draws on strong industry connections to provide students with authentic industry-relevant design problems.
