Accredited by Engineers Australia, this course provides a very flexible pathway to an engineering degree. With a common first year you choose your major at second year from one of seven engineering disciplines. Upon graduating from this program you may be eligible for entry into the relevant bachelor degree program or you can work in a relevant field. You'll choose subjects relevant to your engineering major and undertake a real-world project to design, develop, and present a product. This associate degree has seven majors: Advanced Manufacturing and Mechatronics Aerospace Engineering Civil Engineering Computer and Network Engineering Electrical and Electronics Engineering Mechanical Engineering Sustainable Systems Engineering In the first year, you'll learn fundamental principles of engineering that apply across the different major areas. At the end of the first year you’ll select the major you'll specialize in. Career This degree is aimed at students starting out in a career in engineering. It allows you to specialize in one of seven major engineering disciplines. Aerospace graduates may work in the aerospace industry as an aircraft maintenance engineer or aerospace design engineer at paraprofessional level. A civil major will allow you to work in civil and structural fields that include laboratory technicians, research assistants, construction supervisors, or CAD drafts people. A major in computer and network engineering will allow you to pursue a career in networking, internetworking, IP telephony, network design, or network support. With a major in electrical and electronics, you can work in electronic design, service engineering, or microprocessor programming. Students who major in mechanical or advanced manufacturing and mechatronics can work in roles including product design and process, production planner, or automation specialist. Sustainable systems major graduates will focus on the development of a sustainable system approach. Further study When you successfully complete the Associate Degree in Engineering Technology and achieve a minimum GPA of 2.0, you are guaranteed entry into the following programs.
