The University of Auckland Faculty of Engineering and Design (Māori: Te Herenga Auaha) is one of six faculties that make up the University of Auckland. Located on Symonds Street, Auckland, it has been consistently rated as the best Engineering School in New Zealand for quality of research.[2]

## Facilities

[edit]

The faculty itself is based at the University of Auckland City Campus, with many research groups based at the Newmarket Campus, including the Center for Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Design (CAMMD), and the Centre for Robotics and Automation Engineering Sciences (CARES) The Faculty has been undergoing recent renovation at its city Campus, including a new state-of-the-art building opened in 2019. This is addition to its large-scale Engineering laboratories located at the Newmarket campus.

## History

[edit]

The faculty was made famous for its role in Team New Zealand's America's Cup victory in 1995 and 2000, instrumental in its contribution was the world's first Twisted Flow Wind Tunnel built in 1994 at the Tamaki Campus that allows better simulation of the flow of wind over yacht sails by varying the angle of attack with height.[3] The newer wind tunnel situated at the Newmarket campus is used for a variety of research and teaching purposes, but is primarily used commercially to provide pedestrian wind environment tests for new building consents for the Auckland City Council using its 1:400 scale model of the Auckland City central business district.
