  • take courses in business and project management
  • develop technical knowledge and network with potential employers
  • undertake interactive projects and field trips
  • complete an eight-week practical experience
Majors are available in: Chemical Engineering; Civil Engineering; Mechanical Engineering; and Mining Engineering.

Where could it take you? You'll graduate as an accredited engineer. You could work for a range of oil, gas and energy companies, or find a role in a government agency. You might refine crude petroleum into gasoline or plastics. You could optimise extraction techniques, design new equipment, supervise drillings or take on managerial roles within the business.
