ENGINEERING
Engineering
Engineering is about turning ideas into reality and finding
innovative scientific and technical solutions to a variety
of challenges. The work of an engineer is diverse and
may include design, development, maintenance or
project management.
CQUniversity offers a variety of engineering degrees
incorporating different discipline fields. Discipline
choices are available in a range of engineering areas.
Civil engineering involves structures and systems such
as roads, water supply, bridges, buildings and tunnels.
Electrical engineering is concerned with electricity
generation and distribution, communication systems,
control systems and electronic equipment. If you are
interested in machines that have moving parts such as
trucks, trains, ships, planes and manufacturing equipment
then mechanical engineering could be an ideal career
path for you. Mechatronics engineering combines
mechanical, electrical and computer engineering to create
systems that include both movement and intelligence.
Mining engineering covers the extraction and processing
of minerals and the earth’s resources such as coal, gas,
precious stones and metals. Alternatively, a career in
engineering geology where you will investigate and
provide geologic and geotechnical recommendations,
analysis and design may be of interest to you.
Whatever your engineering interest are, at CQUniversity
we have a program for you.
