Makerspace, Ken Leanfore

At the School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications, we’ve built and maintained strong connections to both alumni and industry.


Our enviable research record is built on a network of mutually beneficial partnerships with government and industry. We also have a reputation for innovation in teaching and learning, producing highly sought after graduates with an awareness of industrial productivity. 

  • The Industry Advisory Board (IAB) comprises senior industry representatives, who provide high level advice and feedback to the School about curriculum and program design, new courses, industry trends and needs, and the expectation of industry with regards to graduate capabilities. The IAB meets twice per year with the School’s executives and Heads of Disciplines. The following industry representatives are current members of the board:
