Faculty of Engineering, University of Melbourne
Encyclopedia : F : FA : FAC : Faculty of Engineering, University of Melbourne
The Faculty of Engineering at the University of Melbourne is the oldest engineering faculty in Australia. It was established in 1861, only 8 years after the establishment of the University of Melbourne, and was made a Faculty in 1889. The Faculty offers undergraduate courses in Engineering through its Bachelor of Engineering (across all departments except Geomatics), and also in Geomatics and Computer Science (Bachelor of Computer Science). These courses are certified by Engineers Australia and have international recognition. Recent additions to the undergraduate degrees include new degrees in Biomedical Engineering and Engineering Management (which provides a minor stream in management as well as a major in any engineering field). It teaches a substantial number of undergraduate and postgraduate students (around 4,500, including over 1,400 international students from over 50 countries), as well as being a significant centre for engineering research, employing many leaders in their fields.
