Please note from 2015 onwards this program is no longer accredited by Engineers Australia. This qualification is only available as an exit point from the Bachelor of Engineering LHMR or LBMR at the end of 3rd year.

Aim

This program aims to provide graduates with skills in engineering design, manufacturing technology, industrial automation, and computer aided engineering up to the level of engineering technologist as recognised by the Institution of Engineers Australia.

Content & Structure

The early years of the program focus on the basic engineering and physical sciences, communication, the role of the engineer in society and manufacturing practices. In the final year, studies include the application of new technologies in manufacturing, manufacturing processes, design of products and manufacturing systems and manufacturing management. The Bachelor of Technology requires completion of 108 units.
