The Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology (FEIT) aims to be a global partner of choice for industry, government and community; attracting diverse, high-quality students and staff, and inspiring leaders in engineering and information technology who advance a secure and sustainable future. We seek to benefit society through the creation, curation and application of knowledge in engineering and information technology in partnership with students and the community. It is therefore essential that our curriculum and research be relevant to industry, government and communities, thereby increasing the significance and impact of our work. The Industry Advisory Group is critical in achieving these goals. The Industry Advisory Groups (IAG) are essential in establishing critical external perspectives in relation to FEIT’s vision and initiatives. The IAGs provide advice, feedback and valuable input to FEIT’s Departments/Schools to achieve enduring societal impact.
