Working with industry
We work closely with a range of partners in the civil and structural engineering industry, to ensure that our research and teaching is meeting the needs of industry.

Industrial Advisory Board
Our dedicated Industrial Advisory Board meets with the academic team three times a year to discuss how we can ensure our teaching is meeting the needs of industry and how the department can support industry's work with the latest research. They also support our Industrial Mentor Scheme and work with us to provide students with industry-focussed dissertation projects. Thus, the Industrial Advisory board acts as a 'critical friend' to the dpeartment, challenging and supporting our work in teaching, research and developing the next generation of Sheffield graduates.
