The Faculty of Engineering is a constituent body of the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Australia. UNSW was formed on 1 July 1949, and the Faculty was established on 8 May 1950 with the inaugural meeting of the Faculty taking place on 7 June 1950. It was one of the first three University faculties which were established by Council (resolution 54), and was initially formed of four departments including Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering and Mining Engineering, headed by Dean Professor Harold Brown.
Today, it is the largest engineering faculty in Australia, offering the widest range of engineering programmes.




Organisations


The Faculty comprises eight schools:

UNSW Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering
UNSW School of Chemical Engineering
UNSW School of Civil & Environmental Engineering
UNSW School of Computer Science and Engineering
UNSW School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications
UNSW School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering
UNSW School of Minerals and Energy Resources Engineering
UNSW School of Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering
The UNSW School of Surveying and Geospatial Engineering (1970 to 2013) was a school of this faculty.

Eleonora Kopalinsky, the first woman to graduate in engineering at UNSW, graduated with a Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering in 1966. Other early female engineering graduates were:

Lee Eng SIM. She came from Malaysia to Australia to do her leaving certificate at Sydney Girls' High, then enrolled as a full time electrical engineering student the next year.
Zanir Zakir. She came from Sumatra in 1963 under the Columbo Plan. She graduated from the School of Mechanical Engineering.
