The School and its staff undertake varied and numerous commissioned research, consultancy and
testing ctivities on behalf of industry partners.  Since 1982, we have endeavoured to make the School's
wide range of experimental facilities and engineering expertise available to industry.  Our laboratories
have continually been up-graded with state-of-the-art equipment.  Our commissioned research and
consulting  activities are managed by academic staff supported by a well equipped workshop and
proficient technical staff.  The School of Architectural, Civil and Mechanical Engineering at Victoria
University can provide expert advice as a well as specialist research, consultancy and testing services
in Engineering related fields such as Environmental & Structural Dynamics & Acoustics, Fluid Dynamics
and Aerodynamics, Structural Mechanics, Water Resources & Geo-mechanics, Post-Harvest Technology, Package Performance Testing, Environmental Stress Screening and Field Measurement
