DEPARTMENT OF APPLIED SCIENCE

The Department of Applied Physics is one of the 4 teaching areas in the Faculty of Science. Applied Physics is also one of the original "Science Departments" established at Curtin in 1966 (then the Western Australian Institute of Technology).

The long-term success of the Department is reflected in the 'birth' and growth of the other departments within and outside the Department (e.g. Exploration Geophysics, Medical Imaging) and the internationally renowned Curtin Science and Mathematics Education Centre, by staff from the original Physics Department.
