• Information and Communication
• Management, Policy and Practice
• Technical Support
• Administrative Support.

The Faculty's governing body is the Faculty Board in Engineering. There is an Executive Committee, a Dean's Advisory Committee, a Teaching and Educational Development Committee, a Research Degrees Committee, and a Research Management Committee. There is also an Industry Advisory Committee with membership drawn from industry, the profession and the community.

In addition, the Faculty is represented on most of the University's boards and committees.
