Automation, artificial intelligence and digitalisation in manufacturing have revolutionised the engineering industry. New tech has created demand for new skills. Employers need manufacturing engineers with both business knowledge and technical expertise. Developed in consultation with industry leaders, La Trobe's Master of Engineering (Manufacturing) combines business skills with technical knowledge to place you at the forefront of the modern manufacturing industry.

With a focus on engineering business concepts, you'll develop negotiation and consultation skills, combined with specialised knowledge in system design, materials processing and sustainable engineering.

Gain hands-on experience with CNC lathe and CNC router machines, laser and waterjet cutters, 3D printers and materials processing and characterization instruments in our on-campus access to manufacturing laboratories. You'll also build industry contacts with our embedded six-month Work Integrated Learning (WIL) opportunities or research learning placement options.
