Research & Technology
At UNSW Engineering, we hold the quality of our research to the highest academic standards to deliver positive, real-world impact.
Technology for humanity
Technology has always played a central role in our lives. In countless ways, it has brought us closer and further than we ever thought possible. It has electrified our homes, allowed us to scale great distances, cure deadly diseases, and even peer into galaxies far, far away. Time and time again, technology has changed the world.Ìý
However, the technology we consume every day comes with its own unique challenges, and it’s easy to overlook the heart of the matter. What the world needs now is a new approach to impact. This starts with building technology with heart.
From small sparks of new ideas, to working prototypes and full-scale solutions, our research is guided by:
What are the actionable steps we can take to bring research to the real world?
What’s the human benefit and positive impact at the heart of our research?
How do we collaborate and innovate, making progress at a multi-disciplinary level?
Our collective focus areas
The world is full of tensions: a growing human population, an abundant but limited supply of natural resources, and skyrocketing demand. How can we design systems and products that fulfil the needs of everyone without it coming at the cost of anyone?ÌýÌý
Become a Technology Partner of Humanity
Relationships are at the heart of impactful research. We collaborate with entities in all sectors, building on their existing goals and principles, to design and implement solutions that bring value to all.
Our Centres and Institutes
UNSW Centres & Institutes are major joint ventures that facilitate long-term, cross-disciplinary research that addresses significant research and societal challenges. Bringing together several UNSW Schools and Faculties, these ventures complement and scale the impact of our Engineering Schools.Ìý
