Our researchers work collaboratively, blending disciplines to solve problems that have global impact. We leverage solutions from many areas of specialisation: from micro-electronics to detecting animal pain to using artificial intelligence in smart homes for our aging population. We are future focused, committed to helping society, communities and industry.
You really can’t go wrong with engineering – it is a phenomenal degree that gives you wings and gateways to so many possibilities.
Aden Fareh
Bachelor of Engineering with Honours (Chemical and Bioprocess)
Engineering is a blend of all my strengths and passions – it involves maths, physics, research and problem-solving, but also creativity, innovation and the chance to improve the lives of many.
Afnan Kayed
Bachelor of Engineering with Honours (Engineering and Innovation Management) with a minor in Mechatronics
My lecturers maintained an open door policy and acted as mentors through each project, motivating me to engineer innovatively. With their help, I won the Engineers Without Borders Award in New Zealand, GT Murray award for best presentation for my final year project and went on to publish three academic papers.
Akshaya Kumar
Bachelor of Engineering with Honours (Mechatronics)
The wide range of papers offered at Massey, both practical and academic were varied – and relevant to my sector and my career.
Andre Budel
Bachelor of Engineering with Honours (Electronics and Computer Engineering)
I transferred into software engineering to chase my talents and love of programming, which I developed through teaching myself to make videogames. I was able to bring my skills to much higher levels and prepare myself for a long and successful career.
Ben Edwards
Bachelor of Information Sciences
The Massey Engineering program is challenging but extremely rewarding. The diverse nature of the subjects promotes critical thinking and teamwork within a technical environment which are crucial skills as you move into the workforce.
Daniel Konings
Bachelor of Engineering with Honours (Electronics and Computer Engineering)
Throughout my studies, the engineering academic staff were supportive, encouraging, willing to help and probably, most importantly, they had real industry experience - not just academic and research based.
Emma Bould
Bachelor of Engineering with Honours (Mechatronics)
I chose to study engineering at Massey because I enjoy solving problems. Engineering teaches you problem-solving skills and gives you the ability to find solutions for real-life problems that will result in improving efficiencies and productivity.
Fatima Bashir
Bachelor of Engineering with Honours (Chemical and Bioprocess Engineering)
The opportunity to work with new technologies such as laser cutters and 3d printers, as well as working on multi-disciplinary team projects, meant I was able to build a very strong portfolio and also develop new technical skills.

Bachelor of Engineering with Honours
The Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply accredits Massey's Master of Supply Chain Management degree.
The Bachelor of Engineering with Honours programme has accreditation from Engineering NZ as a professional engineering degree under the Washington Accord. This allows our graduates to work internationally.
Massey University is ranked by QS (Quacquarelli Symonds) as one of the top 300 universities for chemical engineering. QS is an organisation that ranks universities worldwide in various topics.
During their study Bachelor of Engineering with Honours students undertake research projects with industry. Contact us if your business has some opportunities for students.
The project investigated how energy can be recovered from animal movements and used in animal-worn sensors or systems that animals walk over. The focus was on augmenting TruTest’s existing product which was having issues on farms, due to the use of large wires and water seepage causing project failure. The ultimate goal for the product would be to develop a system to self-energise the load cell.
After analysis Jonathan worked to develop a prototype using piezoelectric elements, which generates electrical energy through the physical deformation of a material. This negates the need for external wiring.
