Discover the UCL Engineering Faculty's Innovation and Enterprise pages
As Engineers, we believe that practical application and interaction with industry are an inherent part of what we do. We are always keen to talk to companies and external organisations, both large and small to explore how we might collaborate.
Within these pages, you can explore the varied ways in which we collaborate with external organisations.
- Industry Advisory Board
The department has an advisory board consisting of industry leaders who provide informed advice on strategic concerns and issues likely to affect the future of the department. We work closely with our Industry Advisory Board who regularly monitors and reviews the programmes to ensure they maintain their industrial relevance.

- Spin Outs
In the most recent The Knowledge Exchange Framework (KEF), a new assessment of how English universities carry out knowledge exchange, UCL was placed in the highest category for Intellectual property and commercialisation. At EEE ensuring our research has tangible impact on society has always been an important driver. This has led to several commercial ventures as well as licensing of EEE technology. Below is a list of some of our successful spin-outs.
Correvate Ltd
Correvate Limited is a company commercialising an algorithm developed at UCL’s Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering under an exclusive licence from UCL Business PLC. The algorithm facilitates the registration and downstream analysis of 3D point cloud datasets. Its first market is in the fast growing ‘BIM’ sector (an acronym for Building Information Modelling) where its Vercator software enables professionals such as surveyors, architects and construction engineers to increase their productivity, accelerate turnaround times and reduce costs.
Intrinsic Semiconductor Technologies
A spinout company established to commercialise the novel memristive resistive random access memory (RRAM) devices developed by Prof Tony Kenyon and Dr Adnan Mehonic in UCL’s Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering. Our silicon-based RRAM technology has the potential to become the backbone for the next generation of computer memory, and to underpin novel neuromorphic technologies for machine learning and artificial intelligence.

Senceive Ltd
Innovative remote condition monitoring solutions for the rail and construction industries. Senceive Ltd was spun out from the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering to commercialise an innovative approach to the problem of monitoring distributed industrial environments such as railway infrastructures and underground mines. By utilising a number of small, intelligent devices that communicate through meshed radio networks, the company offers an autonomous solution that is easy for non-experts to install, maintain and use.
Zinwave
Founded in 2003 from the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering in collaboration with the University of Cambridge, Zinwave aims to provide sub-systems and systems for distributing wireless signals, including those for applications such as cellular radio and WLAN in a flexible, future proof and low cost manner. Zinwave’s proprietary technology enables these applications to be serviced using low cost multi-mode fibres, giving rise to significant cost savings for system providers and installers.

- Continuing Professional Development
Whether you wish to re-train, refresh your knowledge, advance your skills in a particular area, or simply enjoy learning, undertaking a course as part of Continuing Professional Development in EEE may be of interest to you.
Several of our MSc programmes are available on a part-time or flexible basis and our extensive range of modules can be taken as short courses for personal or professional development. Further information can be via the CPD page. For full details and course outlines and to register for individual modules please visit the UCL Short Courses website.
- Graduate Recruitment
UCL Electronic and Electrical Engineering graduates are sought after across the world for their technical ability and problem-solving skills. Our award-winning education programme produces well-rounded graduates, highly valued by employers within engineering industries and beyond.
We welcome you, as industrial and external organisations to engage with our students throughout their education. This provides you with an excellent recruitment pathway, exposes our students to the opportunities in your organisation and helps ensure our graduates leave UCL with the professional skills you value. Engagement could be through offering student projects, guest talks, providing scholarships, Year in Industry (YiI) placements, summer internships, sponsoring student prizes or engaging with career events & guidance.
If you wish to engage with our students around careers and recruitment please reach out to Dr Rob Thompson, EEE Strategic Alliance director.
