The University of Canterbury's Faculty of Engineering (Te Kaupeka Pūhanga) is one of New Zealand's earliest engineering schools[1], known for both traditional engineering disciplines and innovative fields like data science, mechatronics and product design. The faculty offers undergraduate and postgraduate programs across several departments[2], including Chemical and Process Engineering, Civil and Natural Resources Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mathematics and Statistics, and Electrical and Computer Engineering. UC also supports unique programs like the School of Forestry and the School of Product Design, integrating practical, creative, and environmental studies into its engineering offerings​, School of Mathematics and Statistics, Applied Data Science program with practical and applied industry applications in data and machine learning.

UC Engineering houses notable research centers, such as the Electric Power Engineering Centre, which leads studies in sustainable energy solutions in NZ[3], the Wireless Research Centre, focused on next-generation wireless technologies, and the Spatial And Image Learning group, focused on 3D machine learning problems and deployment[4]. Students benefit from modern lab facilities and collaborative industry partnerships, preparing them for impact-driven careers that contribute to both local and international engineering advancements​.
