Our Research

Research in the School of Engineering and Information Technology serves three main purposes. These are: generation of new fundamental knowledge, education of graduate students and assisting industry to advance their technologies to maintain a competitive edge nationally and internationally.

Members of the School have a strong commitment to both pure and applied research of practical importance. Strong industry-based research collaboration has resulted in many successful partnerships, where companies and the University has adopted a win-win approach. In addition to several hundred peer reviewed publications, we have attracted support from many companies and external funding agencies. Our annual income from research in 2005 reached $4.8 million dollars.
