PACE units in the Faculty of Science and Engineering

PACE enables students and industry partners to collaborate in the spirit of discovery while tackling the big issues faced by society, both in Australia and globally.

PACE includes research and lab-based internships, professional placements, and collaborative fieldwork. PACE in Science and Engineering makes it possible for:

• students to enhance their employability
• community and industry partners to nurture the next generation of innovators
• students to pursue career aspirations while helping partner organisations and the community achieve mutually beneficial outcomes

PACE occurs through academic units that are integrated into the course curriculum and it is a requirement for all Macquarie University undergraduate courses.
