Flexibility

Deakin is Australia's expert in flexible course delivery, a concept that involves offering quality-assured, accredited education programs that contain what students need, when and where they need it, at a cost they can afford. ‘Flexible delivery' means mature-age students (aged 21 or more) can study part-time or full-time, from home or work, from anywhere in Australia or overseas.

Multi-skilling

The study programs are designed to produce graduates that can ‘hit the ground running'. That is, we aim to develop graduates who are multi-skilled, broadly focused with multi-disciplinary technical competence, and the ability to take a systems approach to design and operational performance. Deakin is also grooming graduates with highly developed skills in communication, teamwork and technology management, and a holistic understanding of the role of the professional in society.

Industry links

Deakin's School of Engineering promotes and maintains strong industry links through its joint research and education programs, and students have the opportunity to be involved in industry projects and work experience. Each year many companies sponsor student awards, and our graduates enjoy high employment rates.

Professional Accreditation

All of our Bachelor degrees are fully accredited by the relevant industry professional association. Our Bachelor of Engineering is accredited by Engineers Australia. The professional accreditation mean that you are recognised as a professional overseas, and provide endorsement that what you have studied at Deakin is internationally recognised.

Bachelor of Engineering (Civil)

A Civil Engineering degree gives you the building blocks to design, construct and maintain our community. Civil engineers are responsible for the design, construction and project management of roads, airports and railways; water supply and sewerage systems; water resources management; and buildings and other infrastructures.

Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical)

  Deakin's Mechanical Engineering degree brings together leading computer-aided engineering technologies and advanced materials to provide one of the most relevant mechanical engineering degrees in Australia.

Bachelor of Engineering (Mechatronics and Robotics)

Deakin's Mechatronics and Robotics course is an interdisciplinary program involving mechanical and electronics engineering, with a focus on robotics. The course provides the knowledge and skills to enable you to take up employment across a wide range of employer groups.

Master of Engineering
Master of Engineering (Professional)
Graduate Diploma of Engineering

Deakin University's postgraduate Engineering program has been designed to strengthen, build on and extend your understanding of engineering principles required for successful engineering careers in Australia and overseas. You will gain technical skills, a positive approach to problem solving and the ability to work in a team, enabling you to work on complex projects immediately.

You can choose from specialisms in Mechanical Engineering, Electronics Engineering or Civil Engineering. The specialisms all provide expertise in areas of high demand for graduates. The program's focus on practical experience and a supervised research project or industry project provides you with advanced project management skills. This experience equips you with the ability to apply your skills and knowledge to practical, industrially focussed problems.

Flexibility

A number of units can be taken off campus, providing you with greater flexibility to fit your studies in with workplace and personal commitments. The Graduate Diploma of Engineering can be undertaken as a stand-alone or exit qualification from the Master of Engineering or Master of Engineering (Professional) program. The Master of Engineering can be undertaken as a stand-alone or exit qualification from the Master of Engineering (Professional) program.

Engineered solution for skills shortage

The demand for engineers is fuelled by multiple issues, including a massive increase in infrastructure expenditure in both public and private sectors expected to continue for at least the next 10 years and an increasing global demand for engineers and an ageing engineering workforce in Australia.

The shortage of engineers in Australia will continue and perhaps even increase over the next few years. Engineers Australia has estimated a shortfall of at least 20 000 professional engineers (against a total of about 150 000) to meet current demand in Australia.

As demand for professional engineers continues to exceed supply, this will in turn impact on remuneration for engineering graduates.
