For students
Welcome to Creating Innovative Engineering (CIE) and Creating Innovative Professionals (CIP)!
Creating Innovative Engineering (CIE)/Creating Innovative Professionals (CIP) is a Masters-level subject in which interdisciplinary student teams complete an innovation project alongside an industry partner.
If you still have any questions after viewing the website, don't hesitate to reach out to our friendly team. We're here to help!
Why two different names (CIE/CIP)? CIP and CIE are the same subject and are taught together. However, only Master of Engineering students can enrol into CIE, whereas CIP is available to Masters students from both engineering and non-engineering disciplines.
Case study: Real-world outcomes for Royal Melbourne Hospital
In a bid to increase sustainable practices by the institution, a team of students from Creating Innovative Professionals set out to find a way to minimise the waste stream involved in the production of artificial limbs.
Through their investigation, the team had a realisation: there are entire prosthetic limbs that go unused at the end of their life. This insight resulted in a solution that the hospital had not considered: a win-win partnership between Royal Melbourne Hospital and charity organisation Legs4Africa.
