Sustainable thinking
'One of my favourite projects was developing a plan for a hydroelectric dam. Sustainability underpinned our entire design process and materials. I learned what it takes to develop a dam that minimises the ecological impact on plants and animals, and how engineers create environments that allow humans and nature to co-exist. My civil engineering course not only equipped me with knowledge but also fostered the skills and adaptability needed for success in a rapidly changing world.'
Facade Engineer, Bligh Tanner
Environmental impact
'One of my favourite assignments was a collaborative effort to construct a green bridge across the Brisbane River connecting Bulimba and Teneriffe. We proposed sustainable solutions for those communities to reduce city congestion and encourage public transport, walking and cycling. This task deepened my understanding of the general structural and electromechanical processes in engineering, and made me consider government policies and sustainability assessment frameworks in how I approach engineering. These skills will be pivotal for me in my future years as a chemical and sustainable processes engineer.’
Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Chemical and Sustainable Process)
Excel in robotics and AI
'I chose my vertical double degree so that I would be leaving uni with a unique set of qualifications which will distinguish me from other graduates. Doing the vertical double allows me to complete my course in five years, enabling me to enter the workforce sooner with more relevant, modern credentials.'
Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)/Master of Robotics and AI
Lead the future of manufacturing
'This degree equips you with skills for a sustainable future in advanced manufacturing. It focuses on transitioning to a low carbon economy, minimising waste, and creating greener production systems. Learn from industry leaders in digital and robotic manufacturing and bioprocessing to engineer a sustainable future.'
Associate Dean, Learning and Teaching, Faculty of Engineering
Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) / Master of Advanced Manufacturing
Fast-track your career in renewable power
‘The world needs engineers who can lead the technology transformations happening right now in renewable power. This program puts engineering graduates in a very competitive position for local and international jobs in the rapidly growing energy industry.’
Leading researcher in characterization, energy conversion and grid integration of photovoltaic systems
Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) / Master of Renewable Energy
Projects with impact
'Our vertical double degree in Sustainable Infrastructure prepares you to be a leader in a key period of transformation in engineering practice. With the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games on the horizon, our degree is designed to develop and sharpen specific skillsets outside of the broad engineering degree which cannot be covered at an undergraduate level. You will develop the capability to lead complex, high impact projects in key areas of sustainable infrastructure development that are improving the lives and outcomes for people and cities.'
Water engineer and Executive Dean, Faculty of Engineering
Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) / Master of Sustainable Infrastructure
Hands-on learning
'A standout aspect of my course so far has been the hands-on experiences. The emphasis on industry-standard tools, like the Launchpad, makes learning more tangible. Working hands-on with diesel engines and fluid circuit demonstrators during specific units has been crucial as well, providing a direct link to professional settings and better preparing me for the challenges in the engineering field.'
Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Mechanical) student
Networking opportunities and real-world experience
'I chose QUT for its practical approach to engineering education, emphasising hands-on learning and real-world application, which I believe are crucial for engineers. QUT's strong industry connections offered networking opportunities and real-world experience during my studies, which enhanced my understanding of industry and my career prospects. I also chose QUT for its esteemed reputation in engineering and state-of-the-art facilities.'
Computer and software systems student from Taiwan
BMW internships in Germany
‘While I chose to attend QUT specifically for the industry focus and practical philosophy, I would never have expected it to take me to the other side of the world to work with a company like BMW. The scale, precision and commitment to quality was unlike anything we had seen before. Travelling between plants and learning about the production philosophies and plant design, and how this reflected BMW's commitment to transformation and innovation is something that will always stick with me.’
Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Mechanical) and Bachelor of Design (Industrial)
Confidence for your career
'My favourite part of my course so far has been learning about control and dynamic systems in my third year. In this unit, the teaching team gave us many real-world control system problems to solve. I feel entirely engaged to this hands-on teaching method and it makes me feel more confident entering my final year.'
