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.

3rd International Symposium on Deep Underground Science and Engineering
The impacts of a growing global population, climate change and technological transformation are driving the need for novel approaches to utilisation of the subsurface. Large subsurface infrastructure projects are becoming increasingly crucial to energy, transport and water systems. This international symposium will assemble experts in all related disciplines for inspiring presentations & workshopsLocation: Sir Jim McDonald Technology & Innovation Centre, University of Strathclyde, Glasgow, UKMore news-
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.

Olympic silver medal for MEng alumnus Grant Hardie
Congratulations to Strathclyde Civil Engineering alumnus, Grant Hardie, who won Silver at the Winter Olympics 2026 as part of Team GB Men’s Curlers Team. Grant, who graduated with an MEng in Civil Engineering in 2017, won alongside teammates Bruce Mouat, Hammy McMillan and Bobby Lammie. The team won the silver medal following the final against Canada on day fifteen of the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, Italy.

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.
