What you will learn

You'll learn from experienced professional engineers and scientists that will activate your learning with hands-on experiments modelling and analysis.

Work Integrated Learning (WIL) is embedded in the curriculum and it is a core component for all engineering students. WIL allows you to graduate with a portfolio of professional skills that provides evidence of your professional competencies.

You are required to undertake 60 days of approved work experience in the engineering environment as part of your work integrated learning.

In your final year project you'll take part in workshop-style classes where you will collaboratively produce 'green chemical engineering' solutions for real-world industries such as water desalination plants and paper companies.

Career pathways
