Opportunities for Industrial Liaison

The School encourages collaborative work with industry. Collaboration can take many forms and may not necessarily involve funding.

The School encourages contact in the following areas:

  • Undergraduate laboratory projects can assess the viability of certain projects.
  • Postgraduate projects offer the opportunity to investigate thoroughly more complex problems over a period of one to three years.
  • Contract research: The School may enter into contracts to investigate problems that require the expertise of the staff and the facilities available at Wits.
  • Consultation: Academic staff may undertake consulting work in specialist fields.
  • Continuing Engineering Education: Academic staff are able to present courses to members of the public or organisations through the Faculty of Engineering Division of Continuing Engineering Education.
