The School of Engineering is associated with a large number of research institutes, centres and groups. These specialist academic groupings draw together expertise from around the world to drive research innovation and deliver benefits to industry and society. Examples include UQ's Sustainable Minerals Institute (SMI) and the Australian Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology (AIBN). Both Institutes are recognised as world-leading centres of excellence within their fields.

 

The School has also developed strong links with other research institutions, government and industry through staff participation in Co-operative Research Centres (CRCs) and National Research Centres. High profile examples are the prestigious ARC Centre of Excellence for Functional Nanomaterials and ARC Centre of Excellence for Design in Light Metals.
