The Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology at the University of Melbourne is the oldest engineering and information technology faculty in Australia. It was established in 1861, 8 years after the establishment of the University of Melbourne, and was made a Faculty in 1889. It teaches a substantial number of undergraduate and postgraduate students (around 4,500, including over 1,400 international students from over 50 countries), as well as being a significant centre for engineering research, employing many leaders in their fields. In 2011 the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology celebrated its sesquicentenary and the School developed a large range of events and activities to mark the occasion.
Research
The Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology is one of the largest engineering research institutions in Australia, with a 2010 research income of $90 million.

The Kernot Memorial Medal
The Kernot Memorial Medal honours distinguished engineering achievement in Australia, and was established in memory of Professor William Charles Kernot, the first professor of Engineering at the University of Melbourne. The award is made by the University of Melbourne's Faculty of Engineering and IT following the recommendation of a selection committee. This committee comprises the Heads of Schools within the Faculty, and two members who do not hold teaching or research appointments in the University. It is open to persons resident in Australia for at least five out of the last seven years before the award. Throughout its history, the Kernot Memorial Medal has been presented to many distinguished Australian engineers.
