Each year our academics and research centres work with businesses, government and community organisations on specific projects that transfer our research into practice.
 

One such collaboration is with governments in India, Indonesia and UAE to improve traffic and transport management in key strategic areas by utilising autonomous systems, pricing and real-time traffic data. The traffic signal systems developed have reduced congestion reduction by around 35% in some cases.
 

Joining the cohort within the UNSW School of Civil and Environmental Engineering will enable you to take advantage of our strong links with numerous industry partners such as WSP, Advisian, Arup, SMEC, AECOM, Cardno and many more.
 

The proof is in the fact that our alumni are consistently high contributors to Engineers Australia’s Top 100 list of Most Influential Engineers.
