GEEP Green Electric Energy Park<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Green Electric Energy Park (GEEP) is a unique, state-of-the-art facility that supports Curtin\u2019s commitment to excellence and innovation in teaching and research in sustainable development, in particular, renewable energy power conversion systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GEEP is an innovative laboratory that features futuristic power-system concepts based on environmentally friendly, renewable energy technologies. Based on the types of renewable energy sources and how they are integrated and displayed, GEEP is unmatched in Western Australia or Australia, and will serve as a model for future renewable energy laboratories. It has been hailed as one of the \u201cnew initiatives in power engineering education\u201d by the industry professional body, The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Power and Energy Society at its annual general meeting in the US in 2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n \n \n

Physics and Astronomy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Curtin University research groups are well served by the Applied Physics\u2019 Prototype Laboratory. These facilities and services are now also available to parties outside the university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Precision manufacture of original apparatus, ranging from explosive-proof ball mills for nanoparticle manufacture, high temperature geopolymer molds and molecular biology culture habitats have been designed and manufactured at this facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only limits placed on the possible prototypes that can be created here is the imaginative limits of the design team, which comprises firstly the Client, then the Lab Manager (Prototype Laboratory), and any number of academic and technical staff available within the university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other services include electronic design and servicing facilities (test bench and onsite), surfacing and polishing of samples and workshop technology teaching to permit student use of equipment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Computer superlab<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The School of Electrical Engineering, Computing and Mathematical Sciences has invested in creating a superlab so that our students have access to all the right tools to complete their studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through the creation of purpose-built facilities specific to the pedagogical needs of computer sciences, the project has improved the student experience, along with creating a centralised location for the school\u2019s activities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
