Civil Engineering and Surveying (ED) The University of Newcastle, Australia

Welcome to Civil Engineering and Surveying (ED) at The University of Newcastle, Australia. Located at Callaghan, University Drive, our institution is a prominent establishment and point of interest in the field of engineering education.

At our university, we understand that the role of an engineer is ever-changing and encompasses a wide range of responsibilities. From building complex computer systems to influencing everyday infrastructure, or even designing prosthetic limbs, engineers have the power to make a significant impact on society.

One of our esteemed professors, Anna Giacomini, specializes in Civil Engineering and has developed innovative solutions to protect drivers from dangerous rock falls. Her groundbreaking research exemplifies the cutting-edge thinking and expertise that our institution is known for.

As a global leader in engineering education, we take pride in our ranking as No. 16 in the world for Automation and Control Engineering. Our commitment to research ensures that our students are exposed to the latest advancements in their chosen field and taught by faculty who are at the forefront of developments.

We offer various scholarships to support and recognize the achievements of our engineering students. The Catherine and Peter Tay High Achiever Engineering Scholarship, established in 2014, provides a generous financial aid of $32,000 over four years. Additionally, there are numerous other scholarships available to Engineering students.

Our graduates are highly sought after in the industry, with many securing employment even before completing their degree. In their final year, our students engage in sophisticated research projects that integrate theory and practice.

We are proud to announce a $6 million research partnership between the University of Newcastle and ASCON Group, aimed at bringing a revolutionary carbon capture technology to market. This collaboration has the potential to help heavy industries achieve net zero emissions by 2030.

Our institution also fosters a culture of innovation and competition. Chloe Wilkins and Madeleine Gale, two of our students, recently won top prizes in the University of Newcastle's Three-Minute Thesis and Visualise Your Thesis competitions.

If you are considering joining our university, you can experience university life firsthand at our annual Newcastle Open Day. This event provides an opportunity for prospective students, along with their families and friends, to explore our campus and learn about the diverse range of programs we offer.

Beyond academics, we are committed to environmental conservation. Our conservation scientists employ heat-detecting drones to gather data on koala populations in Port Stephens LGA, contributing to the preservation of these iconic Australian animals.

We also prioritize real-world experiences and industry collaboration. Through an innovative partnership with Newcastle Airport, our students have the opportunity to work on solving problems with the baggage handling system, enhancing services for the increasing number of passengers.

At The University of Newcastle, we believe in equipping our students with the skills necessary to succeed in their careers. We offer workshops and seminars on grant writing, cyber security, market research, entrepreneurship, and other relevant topics. These sessions provide practical advice and insights from industry experts.

In all our endeavors, we acknowledge and pay respect to the traditional custodians of the lands within our footprint areas, including the Awabakal, Darkinjung, Biripai, Worimi, Wonnarua, and Eora Nations. We honor the wisdom of our Elders, both past and present.
