Overview

The Bachelor of Engineering Technology is a versatile degree with options to major in traditional engineering disciplines or pursue a career as an aircraft maintenance engineer through completion of the aircraft maintenance (avionics) major. Choosing the civil, electrical or mechanical majors allows you to build in-depth knowledge of engineering concepts and be highly trained in software, simulating modelling and the ability to assist engineers with the technology design and systems management in an engineering project.

The Bachelor of Engineering Technology is designed to develop your skills and enable you to combine an understanding of engineering concepts with modern technology. Choose between major options, allowing you to pursue a career as an Engineering Technologist in traditional engineering disciplines or an aircraft maintenance engineer.

If you choose to study Civil, Electrical or Mechanical majors, your education and training will equip you with the skills to innovatively apply, modify and adapt engineering practices to meet engineering challenges and problems for communities, society and the environment. Tailor your course by choosing from a wide range of streams to suit your interests and career goals. View the majors and minors section below for more information on the streams contained within each major. Note: these three majors can only be studied online and must be commenced in Term 1.

You will have the opportunity to engage with practising engineers, work on industry-sponsored projects and access industry-based scholarships offered by some of Australia's leading companies. Nine weeks of industry placement during the course also allows you to apply your skills and increase your employability by gaining on-the-job experience.

If you're interested in aircraft maintenance, the first 1.5 years of the Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (Avionics or Mechanical) majors must be studied on campus at Aviation Australia Brisbane campus. The final 1.5 years of Aircraft Maintenance (Avionics or Mechanical) Major is available on-campus or online. If you successfully complete the first 1.5 years of Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (Aviation or Mechanical) major, you will be eligible to receive the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) approved Aviation Australia Diploma of Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (Avionics or Mechanical).
