About

Highlights

Design and maintain the electrical systems of all types of aircraft – from aeroplanes to spacecraft, and everything in between.
Learn everything there is to know about aerodynamics, aircraft control systems, avionics navigation and communications, and aircraft and satellite system design.
Get hands-on experience through exclusive work placements and research projects with industry leaders such as Boeing and Airbus.
Graduate with a highly specialised qualification that’s recognised in Australia and overseas.
Combine your studies with a second major or double degree and expand your employment opportunities.

Design and maintain the electrical systems of all types of aircraft with our highly specialised electrical and aerospace engineering degree.

From faster and more fuel-efficient planes, to new ways to make flying cheaper and safer, you’ll be at the forefront of the technologies that are changing the aviation industry.

QUT is one of Australia’s leading universities in avionics research, and you’ll benefit from our strong partnerships with industry and government. Through field trips and training in our advanced engineering labs, you’ll get hands-on experience working with all types of aircraft, from aeroplanes and helicopters, to satellites, spacecraft and unmanned aircraft vehicles (UAVs).

You’ll then apply what you learn through exclusive work placements and research projects with industry leaders like Boeing and Airbus. Recent projects have explored exciting innovations in fixed-wing UAV and rotorcraft, aerospace vision systems, and autopilot design.

You’ll graduate with a highly specialised Honours qualification that’s recognised in Australia and overseas.

Choose a second major or a double degree and pursue your interests while maximising your career opportunities.

Career

Careers and outcomes

As an electrical and aerospace engineer, you’ll use systems engineering methodology to design and maintain the electronic systems of all types of aircraft, from aeroplanes and helicopters, to satellites, spacecraft and unmanned aircraft vehicles (UAVs).

Aerospace and electrical engineers gain employment in a range of fields and industries including major electrical end aerospace companies and airlines, engineering and technology start-ups, air transport safety, management and regulation and defence. As your career progresses, you may then move into more senior engineering roles, management or into other sectors that actively seek engineering capabilities (including finance, health, transportation, construction and environment, public sector, consultancy).

Employment opportunities for electrical and aerospace engineering graduates include major electrical and aerospace companies and airlines, engineering and technology start-ups, and roles in air transport safety, management and regulation, and defence.

Professional recognition

All graduates are eligible for an Engineers Australia (EA) membership. EA is a signatory to the Washington Accord, which permits graduates to work in various countries across the world. This course is recognised internationally in the engineering profession, giving our graduates more career opportunities overseas.
