Engineering and Science Education, Society and Work
Informing education of engineers and scientists to lead
high-functioning societies
The Engineering Science Education, Society and Work research cluster undertakes research to inform education in engineering, computing, physics and mathematics.
UWA research has shown both domestic and international engineering performance is falling short of reasonable expectations. The research challenge for this group is to improve engineering science education from undergraduate and postgraduate pathways through to workplace education and retraining.
We have recognised this as a chance to improve the quality of future generations of engineers and scientists, while increasing the understanding of the social and economic value engineers and scientists bring to our world.
