Job Details
Faculty of Engineering, Architecture and Information Technology
The Faculty of Engineering, Architecture and Information Technology (EAIT) comprises the Schools of Architecture, Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Information Technology and Electrical Engineering, Mechanical and Mining Engineering, and the Advanced Water Management Centre. These units are internationally recognised and their teaching and research successes create a stimulating environment within which the Faculty staff work.
The EAIT Faculty Workshop Group (FWG) plays a pivotal role in supporting teaching and research in design, manufacturing, electrical, electronic and instrumentation.
The FWG is structured under three teams: Teaching and Learning (T&L), Prototype Development, and Instrumentation/Electronics. The T&L group will focus primarily on curriculum support and includes the Architecture workshop, the Student Access Workshop (SAW) and the Student Technology Centre (STC). This team also supports the operation of the open access ‘Maker Space’ workshops. The Prototype Development group is involved with the design, development and maintenance of prototyping equipment, ranging from the manufacture of individual components to complex specialist apparatus for use in research and teaching. The group also has the capability to calibrate instrumentation and mechanical safety devices and is also available to participate in procurement activities involving laboratory and workshop equipment. The Instrumentation and Electronics workshop team will support both the T&L and Prototype groups.
