Pearcey Centre for Computing

The Pearcey Centre for Computing is the faculty's specialist computing training centre based at the Caulfield campus. The centre is named in honour of Dr Trevor Pearcey, foundation dean of the Faculty of Technology at Chisholm Institute (now Monash University). Dr Pearcey was one of the pioneers of computer science and is credited with development of one of the earliest computing machines.
The centre offers a wide range of short courses to industry clients and members of the public. The centre has its own high-end laboratories and access to all the facilities of the faculty. Its lecturers are drawn from faculty staff, supplemented by outside experts when required.
