Overview

Design the world you want to live in with Australia’s most future-focused engineering degrees.

Professional recognition

This course has professional accreditation from Engineers Australia (EA). EA is a signatory to the Washington Accord, which permits graduates to work in various countries across the world. This course is recognised internationally in the engineering profession, giving QUT graduates more career opportunities overseas. Full professional accreditation from Engineers Australia has been given for this course.

Work integrated learning

Work Integrated Learning (WIL) is part of the curriculum and 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. As part of the course requirements, you need to undertake 60 days of approved work experience in an approved engineering environment under the supervision of a Professional Engineer. Please start planning your WIL in your second year of studies. After achieving 192 credit points in your single degree, you are eligible for an engineering related placement. For questions or assistance, please contact the Faculty of Engineering WIL team at engineering.wil@qut.edu.au.  

Study areas

In this degree, students have the opportunity to pursue complementary studies by undertaking an aligned engineering minor. After completing their first year, students can choose their engineering minor from the available options within their chosen major.

QUT You

QUT You provides interdisciplinary experiences that enhance critical and creative thinking, self-awareness, and digital skills, preparing students to create positive societal change.

You are required to complete QUT You units in your course – find out more about QUT You.

Pathways to further study
