Benefit from the flexibility to tailor your studies and specialise in Civil, Electrical, Mechanical or Mechatronic Engineering. CQUniversity has strong relationships with industry practitioners and our close links to industry may provide you with the opportunity to gain support in the form of industry-based scholarships. MAJORS Civil Engineering As a Civil Engineer you will be involved with structures and systems such as roads, water supply, bridges, buildings and tunnels. Civil Engineers are responsible for the design and construction of all our transport systems, the design and management of our gas and water supply, sewerage systems, harbours, airports and railways. They also plan, design and test the structures of private and public buildings and facilities. Electrical Engineering Electrical Engineers are involved in areas such as electricity generation and distribution, communication systems, control systems and electronic equipment. As an Electrical Engineer you may plan the design of power stations and power equipment, design electrical systems, produce drawings using computer-aided design (CAD) and make decisions on the best type and arrangement of electrical circuits, transformers, circuit-breakers, transmission lines and equipment. Mechanical Engineering Mechanical Engineers are involved with machines that move such as trucks, trains, ships, planes and manufacturing equipment. Mechanical Engineers may perform tasks such as designing new machines and equipment that meet their client's needs and budgets, taking into account factors such as cost, availability of materials, strength and maintenance requirements, and the end-user of the equipment. Mechatronic Engineering Mechatronic Engineering combines mechanical, electrical and computer engineering to create systems that include both movement and intelligence. As a Mechatronic Engineer you may be involved in the design and maintenance of machinery and gadgets such as aircraft, robots, small electronic devices and plant machinery. PROGRAM STRUCTURE To be awarded the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) and Diploma of Professional Practice (Co-op Engineering) you are required to complete a total of 29 units including six core units and a further 23 units from either the Civil, Electrical, Mechanical or Mechatronic engineering discipline plan. CAREER OPPORTUNITIES The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) and Diploma of Professional Practice (Co-op Engineering) is your gateway into the engineering industry. Upon completion you will be qualified to work as a professional Engineer in the civil, electrical, and mechanical or mechatronic engineering fields depending on your chosen major.
