Research Department

The Faculty of Engineering offers an active research environment. There has been significant growth both in the range of activities we undertake and in our annual research income. Furthermore, emphasis is placed on commercially useful research and many of our activities are supported financially by industry, government and international funding bodies.

Our Research Centers and Groups are established to provide focus for our research activities and to encourage the cross-fertilization of ideas across different sub-areas in the Faculty.

Our staff members are also active on the boards and panels of many international bodies and are fellows of learned societies. They participate in international conferences and publish regularly.

The Faculty of Engineering Research department aims at promoting joint researches between the faculty and industrial research groups or government organizations. Through the promotion of collaborative research projects with industrial research groups, the department contributes to the advancement of education and research at Faculty of Engineering, as well as technological developments and technical training for regional industries and related associations.
