Rezwanul Haque

Dr. Rezwanul Haque serves as a Senior Lecturer in Engineering at the University of the Sunshine Coast's School of Science and Engineering, where he acts as an AINSE councillor and inaugural academic lead responsible for launching Engineers Australia-accredited programs including the Bachelor of Electrical and Mechatronics Engineering.

His academic background:

• PhD in Engineering, Swinburne University of Technology, Australia
• MSc in Mechanical Engineering, Politecnico di Milano, Italy
• BSc in Mechanical Engineering, BUET, Bangladesh

Dr. Haque pioneers research at the intersection of Engineering Education and Artificial Intelligence, specializing in Generative AI for assessment integrity alongside material characterization using neutron diffraction. His groundbreaking work measures residual stress in self-piercing rivets (SPR) and explores sustainable materials for renewable energy applications, with recent publications influencing governmental education policy.

He has secured over AUD 900,000 in research funding through competitive grants:

• 2023: Generative AI integration in engineering education (AAEE, $20k)
• 2023: Residual stress impact on corrosion in thermal storage alloys (ANSTO, $25k)
• 2023: Texture analysis in pure zinc processing (ANSTO, $46k)
• 2020: Pb-Free solder mechanical properties (ANSTO, $60k)
• 2019: SPR joint residual stress via neutron tomography (ANSTO, $78k)

Award highlights:

• Engineering Education Research Design Award (Engineers Australia, 2023)
• AONSA Young Research Fellow (2021)
• Senior Fellow of Higher Education Academy (2019)

As co-founder of the UniSC AI and Academic Integrity Working Group and architect of the Australasian AI in Engineering Education Centre (AAIEEC), he has mobilized 80+ regional members to develop ethical AI frameworks now adopted in academic policy.
