About

Highlights

With the Federal Government investing $15 billion into rebuilding Australia’s industrial base, engineers with skills in advanced manufacturing are increasingly in high demand (National Reconstruction Fund, 2023).
Queensland is an international market leader in providing advanced manufacturing technologies for local and global supply chains (Department of Natural Resources and Mines, Manufacturing and Regional and Rural Development, 2024).
Address emerging trends in de-carbonisation as you learn to lead projects using sustainable materials and processes such as biofuels and animal-free food production.
Become a leader in Industry 4.0 and 5.0 practices to utilise high-level customisation, cobotics, digitisation, and collaboration between autonomous systems to get the best product quality and maintenance.
Engage with multinational industry partners such as BMW and Boeing in industry embedded manufacturing projects and research.
Learn in cutting edge facilities such as our Mackay Pilot Plant, which converts biomass into biofuels, green chemicals and other bioproducts at the pilot scale, and our ArmHUB, our jointly-owned innovation hub for agile robotics, AI and design for manufacture industry.

Net zero emissions and sustainable bioprocessing practices are core to business now. Companies are looking to hire engineers who can develop sustainable manufacturing systems using the latest technological and operational strategies.

Developments in digital and robotic manufacturing are creating new opportunities for achieving circularity in production systems, minimising waste at industrial scales, integrating net positive environmental technologies, and producing high quality, high value, highly customised manufactured products. Implementation of Industry 4.0 strategies, and evolving into Industry 5.0 concepts and beyond, sees manufacturing approaches that are human centred, resilient, and able to achieve true sustainability.

In this degree, you will learn to strategically apply new technologies and modes of manufacturing to help streamline operations and innovate. You’ll learn to address emerging trends in de-carbonisation and lead projects using sustainable materials and processes such as biofuels and animal-free food production. You'll learn how to build sustainability and resilience into a manufacturing process when supply chain impacts affect production.

This course is ideal for innovative future leaders in both established manufacturing firms and new entrepreneurial ventures.

You’ll learn in cutting edge facilities such as our Mackay Pilot Plant, based on the site of an operating sugar factory, which is a unique research and development facility that converts biomass into biofuels, green chemicals and other bioproducts at the pilot scale.

You’ll also have access to ArmHUB – our jointly owned innovation hub for agile robotics, AI and design for manufacture industry. The hub is at the forefront of industrial transformation, building strong local supply chains and preparing companies for success in global markets.
