Go beyond the classroom with Deakin’s future-focused Bachelor of Engineering (Honours). Get the skills and hands-on experience to create innovative solutions to real-world engineering problems.
Develop the knowledge and expertise to enter professional engineering practice in civil, environmental and sustainability, electrical and renewable energy, mechanical or mechatronics engineering.
Through industry-informed projects you will combine theory with contemporary practice to develop the skills needed to confidently design, construct and maintain engineering systems.
Whether you are building robots in our state-of-the-art lab spaces or solving complex problems on your industry placement, our flexible approach to project-based learning will help you develop the practical skills necessary for your ultimate career.
Want to turn your big ideas into creative engineering solutions?
Deakin's Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) focuses on graduate employability and the future needs of the industry. Our long-standing partnerships with Engineers Australia and a range of industry leaders informs our teaching, meaning you develop the skills employers want through courses that remain relevant. As a graduate, you'll be well-rounded and ready to meet the challenges of the future.
Gain access to world-class technology, teaching and research facilities at our renowned Melbourne Burwood and Geelong Waurn Ponds campuses. Housing some of the most advanced systems and learning spaces in Australia, they provide the ultimate training ground to design, construct and test your ideas. ManuFutures - a revived manufacturing centre with a vibrant, growing, and resilient SME base across Victoria as well as flagship marine, aquaculture and water management projects are prime examples of Deakin's ongoing collaboration with government partners, ensuring our courses and research remain at the forefront of industry innovation and trends. Future-focused initiatives you'll explore and contribute to include the Circular Economy Initiative, Hycel, Digital Futures Hub, Carbon Nexus, Aquafi Hub and BatTri-Hub.
Each trimester 50% of your time is dedicated to project and design-based learning. This ensures you gain the confidence and ability to apply engineering knowledge and skills in an authentic context. You'll tackle real-world industry problems as well as research, design, test and evaluate solutions, with the support of our expert teaching staff. You'll also work on projects that inspire your creativity, and develop your ability to communicate, collaborate and thrive in a team environment.
Our hands-on approach to learning is extended by work-integrated learning and professional practice skills development opportunities. This not only gives you invaluable industry exposure but helps you kick-start your professional networks while you study and explore future career options.
Given the international skills shortage in the engineering industry, Deakin graduates are in demand both in Australia and abroad with 93.4% of our engineering graduates finding full-time employment within four months of graduation according to the Graduate Outcomes Survey 2021-2023.
A recent report from the Australian Council of Engineering Deans (ACED) projected a shortage of qualified engineers in the workforce. They estimated that approximately 100,000 engineers will be required by 2030 to deliver on government initiatives in energy, transport and built infrastructure, advanced manufacturing, minerals, defence, and more.^
Secure your future career by learning the design, development and production skills needed to work in a diverse range of industries that contribute to developing the systems of the future. Depending on your major, you can expect to gain employment in a wide range of private and government organisations. Roles may range from construction to environmental protection, or from robotics to building the infrastructure of tomorrow.
