    About

    This is your chance to have an impact on the way the world works. You could have the opportunity to make your mark on major global systems and infrastructure or be at the forefront of localised urban projects. When you choose this degree, you'll be engineering from day one.

    In your first year, you'll develop a strong foundation in basic science and engineering principles. You'll study a range of engineering areas, letting you decide which area interests you the most. We're strong believers in `learning by doing', so this degree has a strong practical focus. You'll learn from teachers who are passionate about engineering and the difference it makes in the world, so you'll get to experience their energy in your studies.

    Industry and expert connections

    In your second year you'll choose your preferred major so you can focus on the area you feel passionate about. Learning from industry kicks into another gear, and you'll participate in genuine engineering projects. You'll also hear from the very best, with guest lecturers explaining their vision and the results of significant projects. You'll have direct access to them for questions and advice as part of our smaller more personalised experience.

    Entering your final year, you'll take your skills and work with one of our industry partners here or overseas, undertaking a trimester-long project through our capstone Industry Affiliates Program.

    Graduate outcomes

    As a graduate you'll have the hands-on skills that employers tell us they're after. Plus, because this is an accredited degree, you will have met Engineers Australia stage one competencies. This degree is also internationally recognised, which means you can put your skills into practice right around the world.

    Your future career will be guided by your choice of major. Here's an overview of where your choice could take you:

    Civil Engineering (Gold Coast and Nathan)

    Civil engineers support the design and development of essential services and manage and improve the built environment. By studying civil engineering, you'll develop your knowledge in the planning, design and construction of buildings and infrastructure. Demand for civil engineering professionals has grown and is expected to continue be an area of high demand. You could find employment in jobs such as chief civil engineer, construction engineer, municipal engineer, structural engineer, transport engineer, water supply distribution engineer, project manager and consulting engineer. If you want a career creating tomorrow's cities, then this major is for you.

    Electronic Engineering (Nathan)

    In our modern world, we're surrounded by technologically advanced electronic devices. The phone in your pocket, your computer, or the jet airliner flying overhead only exist because of advanced electronic circuits developed by electronic engineers. In this major, you'll focus on the development, construction and design of electronic parts and systems, ranging from everyday items to applications for large corporations and industries. You could find employment in areas such as energy production, transport control systems development, and communications, including satellite navigation, broadband services and telecommunications.

    Electronic and Energy Engineering (Nathan)

    The energy sector is a fast/advancing engineering discipline, with huge investments expected in the coming decades. You will be prepared for a career in areas such as electronics design and fabrication, power transmission, renewable power generation, solar energy systems, wind energy systems, electric vehicles, efficient lighting and energy research.

    Electronic and UAV Engineering (Nathan)

    As Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are rapidly finding application in many areas, the need for both certified pilots and for engineers to design and maintain these vehicles is on the rise. The Electronic and UAV Engineering major offers UAV flight training and professional pilot licence theory. Graduates will be employable as UAV pilots, UAV designers, engineers in the aviation and general electronics industries. This degree is also a pathway for students wishing to be a Pilot Engineer but with a private rather than commercial licence.

    Electrical and Electronic Engineering (Gold Coast)

    Electrical and electronic engineers work with senior administrators, civil and mechanical engineers, computer scientists and various workers in the business, building and construction industries. The essential nature of an electrical engineer's role places them in the position to influence the development and application of new and emerging technologies. This includes the fast/growing energy industry. You could work to incorporate locally generated renewable energy resources into our more conventional supply systems, helping to reduce costs, save energy and cut greenhouse gas emissions.

    Environmental Engineering (Nathan)

    Environmental professionals with strong ecological social science backgrounds are in demand both in Australia and internationally. You'll find opportunities in government departments such as Transport and Main Roads, Natural Resources and Mines, Department of Science, IT and the Arts (DSITIA) along with Environment and Resource Management. You'll also enjoy opportunities with consulting firms in the construction, mining, oil, smelting and manufacturing industries.

    Mechanical Engineering (Gold Coast and Nathan)

    Mechanical engineering is the most diverse of all the engineering disciplines. As a graduate, you'll be qualified for a career in medical, automotive, aerospace, renewable energy, marine and sports/related sectors.

    Mechatronics (Nathan)

    With specialised skills across both electronic and mechanical engineering, as a graduate you'll be prepared for work in the design, development and production of smart engineering systems and products. You'll find career opportunities across many industries including manufacturing, mining, transport and defence and emerging fields such as medical and assistive technology smart cities, precision agriculture and robotics.
