The world is advancing rapidly. Modern and emerging societies face new demands.
Why choose engineering or IT at UTS?
Research with impact
We’re renowned for practical innovation. Research in Engineering, and Information and Computing Sciences at our faculty has been acclaimed for high impact in a national Engagement and Impact Assessment by the Australian Research Council. Amongst other accolades, our research is translating into real benefits for society.
For example, our award-winning SharkSpotter is being deployed on NSW and Queensland beaches to prevent shark attacks and save lives.
We’re also acclaimed for “Well above world standard” research in artificial intelligence and image processing, and biomedical engineering in an Excellence in Research for Australia evaluation.
What does this mean? You’ll be working with global experts in these fields.
Best of the best facilities
You need environments that inspire. Our world-class Engineering and IT Building's state-of-the-art features include modern laboratories and the UTS Data Arena, an immersive, 360 degree interactive data visualisation facility that changes the way data is presented and manipulated.
The UTS Tech Lab brings engineering and IT researchers, government and industry partners together in a large-scale facility to collaborate on multidisciplinary projects and innovate.
Housing Australia’s largest collection of cutting-edge 3D printers, ProtoSpace promotes partnerships for new manufacturing opportunities, and supports the future of advanced manufacturing in NSW and Australia.
Authentic work experiences
You won’t be working in a bubble. We’re renowned for industry engagement on real-world projects. You could be addressing rising congestion on a train network, optimising the performance of an underwater vehicle with a team of students, or developing customer service solutions for a global telecom company. Who knows where your research can take you and the relationships you’ll forge.
Skills for life
We want your learnings to stay with you—and be useful. Skills to collaborate in and manage teams. Entrepreneurship and launching startups. Transformative problem solving via design thinking. Take them into the workforce and help shape the future.

PhD industry project
A team of research students worked with two UTS industry partners to develop a fully autonomous ocean monitoring system with underwater gliders. The team tackled two major challenges: to design a system that has reliable navigation with autonomous decision-making.
The project has provided positive outcomes for the industry partners by providing reliable navigation which is required for autonomous coast-to-coast operations. The results enable motion planning for underwater gliders at a large spatial and temporal scale. This will be demonstrated in a world-first fully autonomous glider operation from Sydney to Brisbane. The positive results from the project are expected to generate future interests from potential industry partners.
