Perhaps you want to learn to build robots. In this degree, you’ll learn about electric circuits and machines, thermodynamics, industrial robots and more. When you graduate, you’ll be a professional engineer who is an expert in planning, design and management. Your career may see you managing teams who will build the designs you’ve created.

You'll be studying in FedUni’s world class $43 million Science and Engineering precinct at our Mt Helen Campus. Your subjects include ‘machine design’, ‘simulation in engineering’ and ‘energy conversion’. In your final year, you’ll take on an engineering project to research and perfect your skills in your favourite area.

Industry Experience

Students must obtain at least twelve weeks of suitable practical experience before being eligible to graduate. This experience should exposes the student to professional engineers and engineering technologists carrying out their typical duties.

Professional recognition

This degree is accredited by Engineers Australia.
