'What sets QUT apart from other universities is its commitment to real-world learning to solve problems. As an engineer who really wants to contribute and have an impact on the engineering industry, studying at a university that prioritises practical and hands-on learning is really important to me. I believe that solving complex engineering problems requires an understanding grounded in real-world settings so that the outcome will improve sustainability and spark innovation to benefit society, which is what QUT provides.'

Gaining a career advantage
'I think my course is the best proof of "real world". In reality, engineering projects involve engineers from more than one field and stakeholders who have different priorities. I have had the pleasure of meeting and working with people from different engineering backgrounds, depth of professional experience and nationalities, and my vision is broadening by the knowledge I gain from the people in this course. I chose this degree at QUT because having a greater understanding of project overview and mastering system operation will give me an advantage as I progress in my career.'
Engineering management graduate
Sustainable real-world projects
'QUT really is a university for the real world. The assignments and case studies part of the curriculum all related to real life scenarios and teaching us how to resolve them. For example, I worked on a medical project pertaining to market studies on 3D printed cardiovascular stents. Sustainability was one of the key aspects of our project as we had to provide a management solution to develop and bring to existence a sustainable, economical and functional stent. I worked with professors who were passionate too in bringing this technology to the market.'
