Overview
- Start your career in two crucial and fast-growing industries – sustainability and engineering. A critical combination that will see future generations live in a world that is pioneering in engineering feats but in a sustainable way to safeguard the planet.
- Curious about how to develop innovative solutions to balance human development while preserving the environment? At an introductory level, you will explore topics such as pollution, water resource management, water distribution subsystem analysis and design, waste management, climate change and fundamentals relating to stability and integrity of engineering projects under different conditions.
- Are you motivated by improving technology to better the environment and minimise our footprint? Work with experienced industry experts and academics examining urban hydrology design, pollution modelling and management of contaminated lands.
- Your capstone course will give you the opportunity to dive into an exciting project designed to expand your thinking and problem-solving skills to develop solutions for practical engineering problems.
- Benefit from interactive, on-campus residential schools where you will be able to work side-by-side with our renowned academics on engineering projects.
- Gain hands-on experience during on-campus residential school courses and 30 days of work experience in industry and be ready to graduate as an Engineering Associate (application through Engineers Australia) to kick-start your engineering career.
- The Associate Degree is an ideal start to your future in engineering, providing the perfect stepping stone for further study into the Bachelor of Engineering Technology or Bachelor of Engineering (Honours).
Further study
This degree is a great stepping stone to our Bachelor of Engineering Technology or Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) where you will be credited for your studies already undertaken in the Associate Degree of Engineering.
