Three IT students in discussion

PhD Software Engineering

For academic Dr Muneera Bano, obtaining a tertiary education overseas was an incredible feat for a woman of her background.

A successful immigrant story

Dr Muneera Mano sitting in front of a computer 01

Muneera was raised in a patriarchal community in Pakistan and had to fight to be able to study in Sydney unchaperoned. Her decision to pursue a PhD in Australia in 2012 was met with much resistance from her family, but this only ignited her motivation to study abroad.

“It was critical to show that given the opportunity, girls can outperform even in male-dominated fields, and to break the stereotypes I opted for computer science [at UTS],” she says.

This extreme effort paid off. During her research career, Muneera received much formal recognition, including being named as a finalist for Google Australia’s Anita Borg Award for Women in Computer Science, Asia Pacific 2015. She was also announced as Superstar of STEM for 2019-2020 by Science Technology Australia, an award that aims to increase the public visibility of women in science. 

Muneera currently teaches in both undergraduate and postgraduate UTS courses within the field of software engineering. Her speciality is in human-centred design for technologies and her research centres around technology-assisted pedagogies for education and social media analysis.

I work at the intersection between computers and humans – looking for ways to engineer technology to work better with the people that use it.  Dr Muneera Mano

Muneera’s advice for women wanting to obtain a PhD is simple.

“Stick to your sense of purpose on why you wish to pursue a PhD. For me it was not just a piece of paper for employment, it was a transformational journey to empowerment.”

UTS acknowledges the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, the Boorooberongal people of the Dharug Nation, the Bidiagal people and the Gamaygal people, upon whose ancestral lands our university stands. We would also like to pay respect to the Elders both past and present, acknowledging them as the traditional custodians of knowledge for these lands.

Best Engineering Schools to Be Published June 18

Here's how U.S. News calculated rankings across 13 specialties, from chemical engineering to mechanical engineering.

New Best Engineering Rankings June 18

On June 18, 2024, U.S. News will publish its 2024 Best Engineering Schools rankings, including an overall ranking of nearly 200 doctorate-granting schools of engineering. Rankings across 13 specialties, such as chemical engineering and mechanical engineering, will also be published.

In line with last year's revamped methodology, half of each school’s rank is based on research activity, while the remaining combined factors comprise the other half. U.S. News favors this approach because research productivity is a core attribute of a department enrolling doctoral students.

The increased research focus is in line with diversifying the underlying metrics used to measure engineering research so that each school’s ranking was not too dependent on a single measure.

To be clear, the total dollar amounts of external research expenditures at engineering schools are a reliable indicator of research activity. These metrics also reflect the American Society for Engineering Education's standardized definition , which includes only activity tied to grants and contracts budgeted for research from applicable external sources, including federal, state, local and foreign governments, industry, nonprofits and individuals.

Even so, total spending is not the only factor to consider when evaluating a school’s research activity. One limitation is that while these aggregated amounts signify the quantity of research an engineering school conducts, they inform less about the quality and impact of that research.

Bibliometric data helps with quality. How often publications are cited in other research, especially in top journals, indicates whether schools’ publications left favorable impressions. Consequently, U.S. News reduced by 10 percentage points the weight placed on research grants indicators, replacing them with the following four new bibliometric ranking factors: citations per publication, field weighted citation impact, and shares of publications cited in the top 5% and top 25% of the most-cited journals.

Citations per publication is the total number of citations divided by the total number of publications for each engineering school. Field-weighted citation impact is the citation impact per paper, normalized for each engineering field to account for some fields being more likely than others to be cited. The remaining two factors account for the extent publications appear in top journals.

The data reflects a five-calendar-year time span, 2019-2023, and were calculated and compiled by Elsevier, a global leader in information and analytics.

Note that all statistics are scaled, meaning they measure the impact of research produced rather than the quantity. This was done purposefully for a couple of reasons. First, it was in response to a 2023 ASEE survey of its members, many of whom suggested the rankings formula had been overleveraged on rewarding schools for their size. Second, this meant logical issues involving the publications that Elsevier attributed to each engineering school were not instrumental in how each school performed.

U.S. News and Elsevier made significant efforts to compile bibliometric statistics for each school based on comprehensive records that followed a standardized approach. The data was derived from how publications’ authors identified their school, research centers and lab affiliations. Specifically, Elsevier used advanced clustering technology to map affiliation text from five types of peer-reviewed documents – articles, conference papers, reviews, books and book chapters – to organizational identifiers.

In early May 2024, engineering schools were given a comprehensive list of affiliates and their name variants that Elsevier had mapped to their schools. Schools could offer additional name variants they believed were missing.

This approach was admittedly subject to the limitations of how faculty have identified their school affiliations in publications. But requiring an explicit identification to a school best ensured only relevant publications would be applied to the rankings. Other approaches fail this test.

For example, mapping publications using faculty names instead of school attribution, as some schools have proposed, would result in including publications that are not connected to the corresponding engineering school, in part because faculty may have changed institutions over a five-year period. Relying on 199 schools to self-report comparable information on eligible faculty would also undermine the benefit of using third-party data.

Finally, this is a ranking of engineering schools, not individuals working in engineering departments. This is why it’s important to focus on the affiliations of engineering schools. But as an acknowledgement that the roster of publications used in the rankings were subject to methodological approach, U.S. News will not publish schools’ total publication counts on its website.

The objective of the rankings is to help prospective graduate students better understand their options for improving their skills, specializing in fields of interest and gaining leadership opportunities that lead to higher salaries. More sophisticated rankings better inform those choices. The latest adjustments to the 2024 Best Engineering Schools rankings methodology help provide a more complete assessment of schools’ research activity by complementing research grant statistics with data on the impact of that spending.

Microsoft offers China-based engineers an option to relocate

Office could be decimated with around 800 offers reportedly made.

Microsoft is said to have offered up to 800 China-based employees the chance to relocate to the US, Australia, New Zealand, or Ireland.

That's according to the Wall Street Journal , which claims the offer stands until early June, adding that it was extended primarily to Chinese employees with experience in machine learning and the cloud.

The paper says relocation is not compulsory and employees can stay in China if they wish. However, Microsoft has apparently pitched the transfers as an opportunity to send workers familiar with AI and cloud computing to places where such skills are needed.

Relocating 700 to 800 of its China employees to the West would represent a substantial chunk of its Asia-Pacific R&D Group, comprised of 7,000 workers mostly based in China.

phd in software engineering australia

"Providing internal opportunities is a regular part of managing our global business," a Microsoft spokesperson told The Register .

"As part of this process, we shared an optional internal transfer opportunity with a subset of employees. We remain committed to the region and will continue to operate in this and other markets where we have a presence."

It's interesting times in the Middle Kingdom. Just yesterday, US President Joe Biden slapped the Middle Kingdom with tariffs on a variety of tech products, including semiconductors, batteries, and especially electric vehicles, which are now taxed at 100 percent, up from 25 percent.

Microsoft itself has been caught up in the rising tensions before, with members of Congress previously criticizing the Redmond-based tech firm for censoring Bing in China to placate the national government. Virginia Senator Mark Warner even suggested Microsoft should pull the plug on the Chinese version of Bing.

Microsoft has a relatively strong presence in China and has decent relations with the government, however, making an exit somewhat difficult to justify financially. The country approved Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard before the US and UK, and just last month the Windows developer brought back several Blizzard games to China after a year-long absence. Clearly, Microsoft isn't leaving any time soon.

An attempt to relocate employees may be a middle of the road option so that Microsoft can continue doing business in both the US and in China without compromising too much on either side.

The relocations likely won't make the Chinese government too happy, but it's probably more ideal for an employee than being laid off; at least then they can accumulate datacenter experience while they're off in the West. ®
