Engineering

Civil engineers focus on designing, planning and constructing the world we live in, both above and below the ground. Projects include dams, bridges, pipelines, gas and water supply schemes, sewerage systems, roads, airports, and structures across all scales, including residential buildings.

Our world is more connected than ever, and electronics and communications engineers are designing, creating and maintaining the infrastructure that enables that global connectivity. They design and maintain networks, control automatic and robotic autonomous vehicles and small devices. They also help improve quality of life around the world, creating bionic ears, pacemakers, life support systems and other biomedical devices.

Engineers who specialise in both electrical and electronic engineering are multi-skilled and often work across diverse engineering projects associated with electrical systems. Your studies in electrical engineering will cover large scale power systems. This is complemented by expertise in Electronic engineering where you will develop the ability to design and create smaller electronic circuits.

Electrical power engineers manage projects across the generation, transmission, distribution and utilisation of electrical energy. They are looking to reinvent the world’s energy systems, working across a scale that crosses continents, right down to the local community where delivering reliable, sustainable power can directly tackle poverty and save lives.

Mechanical engineers are involved in mechanical design, manufacture, assembly, commissioning, maintenance, safety, management, and development of policies within vast global sectors including energy, transportation, manufacturing, and automation. The largest and most complicated machines on the planet, from ships and aircraft to highly technical mechatronics and automation, need the skills and knowledge of a mechanical engineer.

If you already have a Bachelors degree in Engineering or another technical discipline (such as Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, or Economics),  you may be eligible to enrol in a Masters of Professional Engineering and become a fully qualified engineer after a minimum of 2 years of study.

In addition to the engineering specialisations above, you may also wish to look at our Maritime Engineering study options.
