Our departments
We've been delivering world-class teaching and research for over 135 years.
A unique feature is our strong links to industry and public bodies, which is integral to our research, teaching and knowledge exchange activity.
In 2022, we became the only engineering department in the UK to hold a Gold Athena Swan Award. This award marks our commitment to being an inclusive and supportive place to work and study, and recognises our efforts to improve and embed gender equality in all aspects of department activity.

20May2026Speaker: David Mackenzie, Senior Technical Director at COWI. The demands on our existing transportation infrastructure are growing as our cities increase in size. So do we rebuild or refurbish? This presentation will show some of the very impressive engineering solutions to refurbishing major bridges and show how we can measure the effectiveness of sustainable solutions.Location: TL325a in the Learning and Teaching Building (49 Richmond Street, Glasgow G1 1XU).

Harnessing 2% of tidal and offshore solar energy could make dent in CO2 emissions
Researchers in our Department, in collaboration with University of Maine have found that tidal and solar consistently had more energy to offer than other sources such as wind and wave but were the subject of far less research and, consequently, remained largely untapped.

Ground-breaking research reveals true cost of compounding disasters in UN report
Groundbreaking research from reveals many of the most damaging disasters are multi-hazard and not single events has been featured in a UN report. The study, led by CEE Department researchers, offers a transformative reclassification of disasters. It reveals that many of the most damaging events are not isolated incidents but the consequence of several incidents - where, for example, floods trigger landslides, cyclones drive flooding, or droughts accelerate desertification.
