The Australian Centre for Innovation is responsible for the design and delivery of a comprehensive stream of courses on management, innovation and entrepreneurship in the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology at the University of Sydney.

These courses are based on the Australian Centre for Innovation staff’s extensive experience of the analysis and management of  technology and innovation in industry and in policy-making. They provide engineering undergraduates with an exposure to the worlds of professional practice while developing their technical skills.
