The School offers a range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses in specialised areas of Engineering, including Environmental Engineering, Industrial Control Automation Engineering and, Electrical and Renewable Energy Engineering. Better yet, all courses are continuously updated to reflect the latest developments and advances in the field and industry needs. 

The school is proud to have a dedicated group of researchers, educators, and specialists who are passionate about making a difference and teaching the next generation of innovative engineers. A/Prof David Parlevliet is the new the Dean of Engineering and Energy, with A/Prof GM Shafiullah recently appointed as the Associate Dean of Learning and Teaching.  

At Murdoch students can expect a hands-on learning experience, with a focus on practical applications that are relevant to the industry.  

“We design our courses with industry input and guidance to make sure they are giving students the skills they need when they graduate and enter the workforce.” Parlevliet says, so much so that staff have utilised their networks and industry connections, to build the courses based on the skills that the industry is seeking in future employees.  

“We have gone back to our industry roots and asked what they need people doing in 2-3 years' time, so we can teach the skills that are going to be needed when students graduate.” Parlevliet says. Those with an interest for all things engineering and energy, can rest assured that at Murdoch, they will have the ability to learn complex concepts yet still attain the vital skills needed to succeed in the workforce.  

At Murdoch, students are exposed to modern facilities that they would typically see out in the field, such as renewable energy systems, laboratories, and Murdoch’s very own Bayer Pilot Plant. This specialist facility provides students with real-world experience where they can implement dynamic control strategies to operate the plant.  

Aspiring engineers and energy specialists, the School of Engineering and Energy invites you on a journey to make a difference in the world through cutting-edge research, and innovative thinking.
