'One of the things I enjoy most is that we get to do both theory and practicals. The civil engineering labs have just had a face lift and look great.

'With the new equipment, we have completed fluid mechanics practicals and explored what we learnt in theory.

'When I graduate I want to pursue a career as a structural engineer. I love how buildings, bridges and structures constantly push the boundaries of science and technology and I want to be a part of building the future.'

What can I study?

We offer four major sequences - civil, electrical and electronics, mechanical, and mechatronics and robotics - allowing you to concentrate on the aspect of engineering that interests you most.

Engineering Science

Deakin also offers a Bachelor of Engineering Science that brings together studies in engineering, physiology, exercise, and sport science in a qualification that could lead to a variety of exciting career opportunities in the fields of sports or medical technology, with a focus on human performance. Students specialise in one of the following areas:

  • Sports technology - electrical
  • Sports technology - mechanical
  • Medical technology

Why study engineering at Deakin?

Industry learning in engineering

Engineering students can experience the workplace throughout their course of study. You may choose subjects which take you into the field, place you in industry or offer internships.

Industry Based Learning (IBL) involves working full or part time in industry as part of your degree program and plays a valuable role in preparing for graduate employment.

The placement is incorporated into a unit of study and credited towards your degree, and provides the opportunity to apply and consolidate knowledge gained at university, experience workplace culture and work practices, explore career options and develop a professional network.

First-class facilities

As a Deakin engineering student you will have access to recently refurbished, fully-equipped laboratories and cutting-edge computer-aided software that is used in modern industrial workplaces.

Accessible lecturers help you get the most out of your university education and provide a friendly learning environment.

Research and teaching excellence

Learn from world-standard reserchers. Engineering at Deakin is different as it is research led, rather than simply research informed. Deakin is a significant leader in the number of engineering focused research areas, most notably manufacturing and materials.

Engineering research themes: Sustainable Infrastructure, Advanced Design and Manufacturing, Health and Education.
