Our vision is for the Centre for Digital Engineering and Manufacturing (CDEM) to become a world-leader in Digital Engineering for postgraduate education and research.
Our mission is to be the postgraduate university of choice for students, staff, business, government and academic partners for learning and research in through-life digital engineering capability in multiscale modelling, life cycle simulations including molecular dynamics to factory/process system simulations, digitalisation of through-life manufacturing, digital twins, artificial intelligence and virtual and augmented reality.
