Institute of Engineering
The Institute of Engineering at St Andrews is dynamically and actively integrated across the University of St Andrews. Operating beyond conventional boundaries and silos it has a strong focus on, collaboration, innovation and education. Engineering underpins research, teaching, and the function of Schools across the University of St Andrews.
The Institute of Engineering provides a holistic and collegiate environment for all aspects of Engineering, from theoretical to translation, atomic to planetary, with unique human centred approach based on the 610+ years since the University of St Andrews’ foundation. Engineering is at the heart of our World-Leading Research at St Andrews in its modern broadest sense.
Engineering aims to address global challenges and future opportunities by championing interdisciplinary research at St Andrews and puts the “E” back into STEMM (Science Technology Engineering Maths and Medicine).
Our five pillar themes Devices and Diagnostics, Energy and Materials, Engineering Biology, Sustainable Engineering and Systems, Processes and AI encompass all forms of Engineering from theoretical, quantum, software, electrical, electronic, photonic, molecular, chemical, genetic, organic, material, physical, environmental, geophysical, and planetary engineering. .
This is a portal to enable all Engineers (including students, early to late career academic researchers, technicians and administrative specialists) to develop ideas across single disciplines to transdisciplinary and from tiny concepts to life changing applications.
