COER is part of the School of Food & Advanced Technology, Massey University.
School of Food & Advanced Technology
Education and research in technology and engineering have been at the core of Massey University since it was founded in 1963.
The growing influence of technology on all functions of society has created a large demand for technology and engineering graduates, not only to enter industry and professional practice, but also to bring the strengths of a technology and engineering education to related fields such as law, medicine, management, finance, and government. Never have the challenges and opportunities for careers in technology and engineering been more exciting or more critical to the long-term well-being of society than they are today.
The School is committed to the concept of wealth creation through the development of new and improved products and processes. Wealth is interpreted broadly as being economic, social and environmental well-being. Whilst economic growth is paramount, it is balanced by the need to simultaneously enhance social and environmental ‘wealth’.
