Student Research Themes

IARE has sixteen Research Themes that bring together and represent the range of multidisciplinary research activities undertaken within it's three groups. Our research focuses on solutions to real-life problems across a range of industries.

High-Impact Projects (HIPs)

Engineering combines both theoretical and practical knowledge in a complex way. Projects serve as the crucial link between these two aspects, providing the essential balance needed in the corporate world.

• SRI (Summer Research Internship) Project
• AI in Software Development Life Cycle
• SP (Side Project)
• SE (Software Engineering / Software Design) Projects
• ML (Machine Learning) Projects
• CS (Cyber Security) Projects
• DS (Data Science) Projects

Technology Innovation and Product Support (TIPS)

Predicting future innovation and its impact on society is always difficult, but here are some potential areas of innovation and their possible impact:

• AT - Assistive Technologies
• IIST - IoT, Imaging and Sensing Technologies
• CE - Community Engagement
• PCAI - People-centred Artificial Intelligence (AI) in cities
• HMT - Healthcare and Medical Technologies
• SCDT - Smart Cities and Digital Transformation
• GET - Geospatial Enabling Technologies
• URS - Urban and Rural Sustainability
• AM - Additive Manufacturing
• AV - Autonomous Vehicles
• UAV - Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
• NMER - New Materials and Energy Research
• ARVRS – Augmented Reality / Virtual Reality Solutions

Vertically Integrated Projects (VIPs)

Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP) involve design/discovery efforts involving students, researchers and faculty in their areas of expertise. VIP projects ambitious and long-term. Working together productively in a diverse team to find creative solutions to the problems or to make progress on a project is a key employability skill in the 21st century.
