Develop a thorough understanding of electrical theory, control theory, electrical plant, computer interfacing and programming, measurement principles and sensor design, signal processing and communications, as well as engineering project management – enabling you to design electrical and electronic products, processes or systems which are soundly based in theory. As an electrical engineering professional, your work will focus on interpreting requirements and designing and implanting engineering solutions which optimise social, environmental and economic sustainable outcomes over the full lifetime of the engineering product or project.

Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Electrical and Electronic Engineering)

Why Mechanical? You’ll learn the fundamental skills of design, innovation and systems improvement, and gain experience working with UniSQ’s Heat Engines and High Speed Gas Dynamics laboratories. In your first year, you’ll explore all areas of the engineering field to allow you to take charge of your own career. Previous students have produced projects in the fields of the redesign of an FSAE race car, the use of the vibration signature in structural health monitoring, Microalgae as alternative fuel for Compression Ignition Engines and modification of agricultural equipment and obstacle detecting robotics.

Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Mechanical Engineering)

There is increasing demand for technical skills to help build the infrastructure, manufacturing and production systems of the future. This degree will prepare you to work in these industries, and to contribute to shaping the future in Australia and globally.The Associate Degree of Engineering is designed to meet the requirements for accreditation at the level of Engineering Associate by Engineers Australia. The course is structured around 16 key competencies identified by Engineers Australia as being essential to the graduating engineer, which are broadly grouped into knowledge and skills, application, personal and professional skills.The course is suited to school leavers or those with a trade qualification who are looking to enter the civil construction or manufacturing and production industries in a supervisory, project management or technical role, or progress their careers in these industries to the next level.Foundational core units build knowledge of the practical and technical skills and the processes and philosophy that underpin engineering systems. You’ll then choose a specialisation to build additional knowledge and skills needed to perform technical roles in a range of engineering systems relevant to your specialisation. Finally, you&#39;ll complete project-based units that will develop your skills in critical thinking, creative problem solving. and project management, and additionally complete a total of 30 days (240 hours) of professional placement in industry during your studies, ensuring you are ready to hit the ground running as a graduate.

Break into the engineering field as an engineering associate. Delve into engineering technologies and materials. You’ll learn to use maths and physics for problem-solving. Get to know compliance. Specialise in civil construction or intelligent machines.

Associate Degree of Engineering

With all forms of engineering infrastructure surrounding us, such as roads, buildings, bridges, dams and pipelines; civil engineers play a major role in society. In your first year, you will experience all areas of the engineering field to allow you to take charge of your own career. The Civil Engineering major will focus on the fundamentals of infrastructure design, planning, development, construction, operation and maintenance, and develop the skills that will allow you to achieve success. Get hands on with the practical courses, work with professional equipment and learn the highly sought after skills you’ll need for the workforce.

Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Civil Engineering)

Why Instrumentation Control and Automation? With a focus on the various aspects of automating mechanical and fluid engineering in industry, you will study the control and monitoring of industrial processes through computer networks and experience practical, hands-on study. A significant proportion of your courses align with the United Nation&#39;s sustainable development goals to ensure your learning make an impact and contribute to solving global challenges. UniSQ&#39;s Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) will allow you to apply your knowledge through practical work experience, access to professional facilities and an exciting final year research project that will allow you to become industry ready.

Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Instrumentation Control & Automation Engineering)

Mathematical Methods for Engineers 2

Introduction to Engineering Physics

Mathematical Methods for Engineers 1

This subject has two compatible parts. The first part of the subject is focused on track maintenance and the second on applications of much of the course learning to incidents and case studies. Both parts of the subject require the drawing together of aspects of design, construction, management, operations, associated infrastructure, turnouts and track behaviour. The intention of this subject is that you obtain a more wholistic view of this rail Diploma course and of the topics you’ve learned and help you synthesise an overview of the infrastructure part of a rail business. You are studying this subject in the latter part of your course so that you can draw upon and relate together the more detailed knowledge and skills you developed in earlier subjects. The assessments in this subject are designed to help build a reflective and synergistic approach to your work in the rail industry.

Track Maintenance and Applications

In TAS-JEE151 Fundamentals of Track Engineering and in other subjects you learned about the various components from which track is constructed, some of the defects which can occur in those components, and something of the forces generated by a train travelling along a track. In this subject you’ll be delving much deeper into the types of defects which can afflict rails, sleepers, ballast and the track substructure, as well as how to manage those defects and how to mitigate risks of defects interfering with the passage of traffic on a rail line. Those topics naturally lead on then to a detailed study of the interface between trains and track, which happens all within the wheel-rail contact patch. The management of that patch, its effect upon train behaviour and track forces, and the influence of rail and other track defects in the role of the contact patch, comprise the remainder of the subject’s content. This subject has close relationship with TAS-JEE155 Track Design and TAS-JEE154 Track Maintenance and Applications.
