Civil, mechanical, and mechatronic engineering are the building blocks that support modern life, from the construction of your local shopping centre to technologies to keep the world moving.
In these courses, you’ll build the knowledge and skills to shape the world of tomorrow. As part of your study experience, you’ll also have the opportunity to be involved with student clubs and research programs.
Civil and construction engineering involves the application of scientific and technological principles to the design and construction of facilities for the community, such as railways, harbours, roads, bridges, water supply and wastewater treatment, dams, mining construction, power projects and buildings.
Mechanical engineering involves harnessing the energy and forces that exist in nature, providing for the needs of society. This means it covers a range of different machines, from micro-mechanical devices to massive power-generating turbines. An example of the accomplishment of mechanical engineering is the flight and performance of modern aircraft.
Mechatronic engineers work with advanced technologies across a range of industry sectors, including resources, agriculture, aerospace and biotechnology. With strengths including mechanical design, advanced sensors, control systems, AI, machine learning, automation and robotics, they’re well positioned for the future workforce.
