Industry Advisory Groups
Melbourne School of Engineering is guided by discipline-based industry advisory groups.
These groups provide valuable insights on our strategic planning; and teaching and research programs. Representing a broad spectrum of industries, each member provides a link to the external stakeholders who comprise their field of expertise.
The goals are to focus on increasing industry involvement in course design, including input into:
- The curriculum
- Presentation of guest lectures
- Real-world case studies
- Industry-based projects
- Site visits.
