Curtin Engineering is nationally and internationally recognised as a leader in Engineering Education and Research. We are dedicated to the enhancement of teaching and research and the pursuit of excellence and innovative applications of engineering technology as a contribution to the advancement of scientific knowledge, understanding and community relevance.

Our vision is to nurture cross-disciplinary teaching and research, providing educational and service benefits to our students. An example of this is our unique Engineering Foundation Year first-year program, which was the 2006 recipient of the National Carrick Award for "First Year Experience". Although each Engineering Department has its own distinctive communities, Curtin Engineering has a shared set of values and approaches enshrined to provide a distinctive character to Engineering at Curtin.

Undergraduate Courses

Today, shifting demographics, globalisation and rapid advances in technology mean changes in our world that challenge the nature of engineering - demanding far broader skills than simply the mastery of scientific and technical disciplines.

Civil Engineering

Civil engineering is the oldest of the engineering disciplines, with examples dating back four thousand years. Examples of civil engineering projects constructed by the Romans are evident - Roman roads and bridges have survived centuries of traffic and weather and are still used today.

Civil and Construction Engineering

Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering involves the conception, design, manufacture, control, maintenance and management of any system in which motion is a key feature. The range of mechanical engineering examples is vast, from tiny micro-mechanical devices to massive power generating turbines. The flight and performance of modern aircraft is also largely an accomplishment of mechanical engineering.

Chemical Engineering

Employers generally regard chemical engineers as the most versatile engineers and they are greatly sought after by consulting engineering groups and smaller companies. Chemical engineers are integral in the chemical, petroleum refining, petrochemical, minerals, synthetic materials, food production, and pharmaceutical industries.

Chemical Engineering

Petroleum Engineering

A petroleum engineer's job is to understand the geology of oil and gas reservoirs and then to develop engineering methods to extract the maximum amount of hydrocarbons from them for the benefit of his/her company and mankind.

Petroleum Engineering

Electrical and Computer Engineering

Electricity has been a subject of scientific interest since the 17th century and is a key energy resource used across all aspects of life. You will obtain sound theoretical knowledge and practical skills whilst understanding the role of engineering in communities and business environments

Computing

Computing professional are employed widely in many different industries and organisations. The dynamic nature of computing technologies also means that jobs available in the future may not yet be apparent today.

Postgraduate Courses

All Curtin's Engineering departments have postgraduate engineering courses which give graduate engineers the opportunity to crossover into new areas or further develop research in their chosen stream.
