Course overview

This course offers a broad-based point of entry into employment as an associate engineer or a pathway into an undergraduate engineering degree. You’ll study undergraduate-level units including specialisation units in civil, electrical, mechanical or mechatronics engineering. You’ll benefit from a supportive vocational environment, including smaller class sizes and more one-on-one time with teachers.

Graduates may seek employment as an associate engineer after two years of study, or have the option of progressing to the second or third year (depending on specialisation) of the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours), where you can choose to specialise in civil, electrical and electronic, mechanical or robotics and mechatronics engineering.
