Sustainable engineering
Why study Sustainable engineering?
Sustainability and global warming are significant contemporary issues addressed by our electronic engineering and civil engineering courses.
In electronic engineering’s sustainable energy production specialisation, you will study zero-emissions power generation, conversion technologies, and transmission line and other communications technologies for the renewable energy industry.
In our civil engineering course, you will study climate, sustainability and society; environmental law; civil construction and environment; environmental case studies; and sustainable infrastructure. Understand the role of engineering technologists in the community and develop an awareness of the social and environmental effects of your decisions.
Career opportunities
Graduates of electronic engineering are prepared for work in manufacturing, research and development, maintenance, quality control, medical related industries, space and physics related industries and consumer goods companies.
Graduates of civil engineering are prepared for work in private industry, consultancies, local, state, and federal government organisations, and in research. Career paths range from general engineering practice and management roles up to CEO level.
