创新精神驱动

The 科学与工程学院 is a young and dynamic faculty driven by the spirit of discovery. Here we nurture the next generation of science and technology innovators.

From a handful of students on the University’s first day, the Faculty now serves 6000 students across all our programs.

我们的研究 and 教学 addresses the big issues faced by society in Australia and globally – the changing environment, 未来材料和燃料, 生物技术, 网络安全, 举几个例子.

The pairing of engineering and science in a single faculty means many of our research discoveries in science see direct technological applications in engineering.

重要的是, we conduct world-leading research across the breadth of science and technology disciplines.

We provide research training pathways for students from Australia and around the globe.

出身卑微

The 科学与工程学院 traces its roots back to the founding of the University in 1964. It is the amalgamation of the Divisions of Environmental and Life Sciences (comprising Biological Sciences, 化学 & 生物分子科学,地球 & 行星科学, 人文地理, 自然地理, 环境研究生院), 信息与通信科学(计算机, 电子产品, 数学, 和物理). You can still see these original divisions in the names of our seven Departments, one School和AAO Macquarie.

It was the appointment of several key figures within these two divisions that drove our approach and strategy to this day:

  • Professor Frank Mercer appointed as the Chair of Biology in 1965.
  • 约翰·沃德教授, a Fellow of the Royal Society and nominated for a Nobel Prize twice, 获委任为大学院士.
  • Professor Ron Aitchison became the first Professor in 电子产品 in 1971.
  • Alan Voisey教授, the first Head of the School of Earth Sciences (and foundation Professor), who had been the foundation professor of Geology at the University of New England before coming to Macquarie.
  • Professor Jim Piper, who developed our world-renown capability in 光子学.
为世界闻名的卓越成就

多年来, we have been the home of a number of areas of research excellence, and led many significant initiatives including pioneering climate change research, WiFi的商业化, 光子学, 进化生物学, and internationally leading research in Earth's crustal systems. WiFi的商业化, 气候变化的早期工作, and the development of gene sequencing are hallmarks of our world-changing achievements in wireless, 环境, 和蛋白质组学, 分别.

We have also promoted the growth of science through our various research centres, 包括气候未来中心, GEMOC, 风险边界.

The new 科学与工程学院 Strategic Framework 2022-2026 continues to build upon the themes of the earlier 2016-2020 plan of excellence in research, 教学, 创新和参与, 并且更进一步, 为了解决社会问题, technological and economic challenges of today and the opportunities that those same challenges bring.

The 科学与工程学院 Strategic Framework 2022-2026 sets out our mission and strategic goals for the years immediately ahead, and provides detailed initiatives that underpin our goals with milestones and projects. As we look ahead to the future in a rapidly shifting global landscape, we commit to align our research and coursework curricula with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, 本土的系统和知识, 新经济. 我们的目标是为STEM毕业生的职业生涯做好准备. Together with industry and our community we will innovate for the future and look to nurture existing and establish new partnerships with commercial, 政府, 文化及专业机构. We will engage in building the new economy, with environmental and social sustainability at the core.

The Framework 2022-2026 is aligned with the six areas of focus under the OD体育平台 Operating Plan 2020-2024.

The launch of the faculty's Strategic Plan 2016-2020 heralded the beginning of a new era for science and engineering at the University: one which looked back and honored the achievements of the past while focusing with excitement on the possibilities and opportunities the future would bring.

The faculty commenced development of the 2022-2026 FSE Strategic Framework in 2021 and was pleased to release the plan in August 2022.
