Research Overview
Research in the School has been restructured following the merger developing multi-disciplinary Research Groups. They provide a framework for research by aligning with major industries to enable wealth generation, and with societal needs to maintain and sustain quality of life. The Expert Groups are setup for coherent activity on specific disciplines. There are also Research Centres and Institutes associated with the School of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering.
