• We offer an integrated cross-disciplinary engineering program, with par cular focus on electronics, communica on systems, mechatronics and mechanical engineering.
• There is an emphasis on supported learning in both the undergraduate and graduate programs, with a high ra o of tutors per student, and state-of-the-art facili es.
• Our research staff are interna onally recognized and leading in a number of areas including antenna design, next genera on wireless communica on systems, and microelectronics.
• Recent growth has been into the areas of biomedical, mechatronics, and nano- materials engineering.
3 Why Engineering at Macquarie
Engineering at Macquarie is where Macquarie Engineering graduates are: innova on comes to life. • Crea ve, outside-the-box thinkers Students will learn theories, but most • Problem-solvers importantly they will understand how to • Technically excellent put them into prac ce. • Hands-on • Team players Our researchers helped to make the • Systems thinkers breakthrough in WLAN technology that • Ready for the future! underpins today’s wireless technology.
They were then involved in marke ng the intellectual property rights which ne ed half a billion dollars. It’s the kind of broad thinking that makes employers hungry for our engineering and informa on technology graduates.
