Partnerships

Monash Engineering places great importance on its engagement with a wide range of industry, government, professional and community bodies, onshore and offshore. The engagement occurs at many levels; from collaboration on research projects, membership of boards and bodies, provision of expert advice and comment, financial support etc. Examples of the Faculty of Engineering engagements are listed below:

• The Australia China Consortium for Engineering Education and Research (ACCEER) provides opportunities for industry partners with interest in both China and Australia to engage with the consortium via joint research projects, scholarships and work experience placements

• Membership of the Asia-Oceania Top University League on Engineering (AOTULE) with other leading universities in the Asia-Oceania region to improve the quality of engineering education and research and to facilitate international collaboration.

• Joint PhD programs with India Institute of Technology Bombay through the IITB-Monash Research Academy.

• The Cooperative Research Centres (CRC) Programme links researchers with industry to focus research and development efforts on utilisation and commercialisation. The programme is run by the Department of Education, Science and Training, and was established in 1990 to improve the effectiveness of Australia's research and development effort. Monash Engineering is a member of the CRC Smartprint , CRC for Clean Power from Lignite, CRC for Greenhouse Gas Technologies, CRC for Catchment Hydrology, e-Water CRC , CRC for Cast Metals Manufacturing and CRC for Polymers

• All undergraduate engineering degrees, offered at our campuses in Australia, and Malaysia, contain a 12 week compulsory work experience component which draws on the students' knowledge and skills acquired during the rest of the degree, and provides valuable real-world experience
