Our school brings together Curtin’s core capabilities across electrical engineering, computing, physics and mathematics, to better understand and advance our data-driven world.
We have built substantial knowledge in machine learning, cyber security, statistics and optimisation, digital transformation, radio astronomy, the Internet of Things, signal processing, embedded systems, renewable and power engineering.
The school offers a range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses across these areas, which give students the skills they need to tackle the challenges of the future.
The school attracts millions of dollars of research income each year, the majority of which is from industry, reflecting the focus of the school on demand driven research. The school is home to some of the largest institutes and centres at Curtin, including:
- Curtin Institute of Radio Astronomy (CIRA)
- Curtin Institute for Computation (CIC)
- Optus Centre for AI (OCAI)
- Curtin Cisco Centre for Networks (CCCN)
- ARC Centre for Transforming Maintenance through Data Science (CTMTDS)
- Innovation Central Perth (ICP)
- Curtin Centre for Optimisation and Decision Science
- Hydrogen Storage
Our institutes concentrate on blue sky research – literally. The Curtin Institute of Radio Astronomy is engaged with the world-leading Square Kilometre Array project and the Curtin Institute for Computation is employing artificial intelligence to advance data-driven research.
