Faculty of Engineering,
Computing and Science
The Faculty of Engineering, Computing and Science (ECS) is a bold new Faculty at Western Sydney University, created to bring together Engineering, Built Environment and Design, Science, and Computing, into one integrated powerhouse of teaching, research, and innovation.
Our mission is clear; to be the engine of Western Sydney’s prosperity, educating diverse, work-ready graduates and delivering mission-driven research and partnerships that turn ideas into impact for people and planet.
Western Sydney is one of Australia’s most dynamic regions. It is home to nearly 3 million people, a new international airport, and the emerging high-tech city of Bradfield. No region in Australia has greater potential. ECS sits at the heart of this transformation, with state-of-the-art facilities and strong partnerships with industry, government, and communities.
Guided by Western 2030, our strategy focuses on:
- Student Success – delivering personalised, flexible, industry-connected education.
- Research & Innovation – driving solutions in areas which include advanced manufacturing, infrastructure, sustainability, agriculture, and digital technologies.
- Indigenous Leadership – embedding Indigenous knowledges and building pathways for Indigenous student and staff success.
- Global Engagement – expanding transnational education through campuses in Indonesia and India.
- Sustainability – leading the sector as Australia’s first climate- and nature-positive university.
ECS already has more than 9,400 students and 400 staff across its Schools. We are building on strong foundations but also reimagining what an engineering, computing and science faculty can be; collaborative, industry-facing, and globally connected. At ECS, we aspire to be a faculty without boundaries: interdisciplinary, inclusive, and innovative.
