Infrastructure is a key priority for the Australian Government, who have initiated a range of large-scale projects to address issues such as urban congestion and national connectivity.
The future is moving fast. With evolving technologies creating opportunities for engineers of all stripes, there's never been a better time to grow your skillset in this high-demand and growing field.
Engineers are facing untold opportunities - and challenges. With robotics, artificial intelligence, climate change and globalisation transforming the playing field, businesses need highly skilled engineering leaders who can predict and respond to rapid change.
Create solutions to critical challenges in food, energy and water supply, with a Master of Engineering (Biochemical) from Australia's leading university.* You'll gain a unique set of biochemical science and engineering skills to design new bioproducts and bioprocesses.
Industrial engineers are essential to a wide range of industries. They determine how an organisation's workforce, equipment and resources can be used efficiently and safely. As technology continues to evolve, businesses increasingly need industrial engineers to help them stay ahead of the pack.

Entry Requirements
School Leaver
Non-School Leaver
AQF
Completion of WACE General or ATAR (Minimum C Grades) or equivalent
Completion of WACE General or ATAR or equivalent (minimum C Grades)
Certificate III
This course is also available as a traineeship.
Entrance requirements for traineeships
You must be employed in a training contract by an appropriate organisation to study an apprenticeship or traineeship.
In a traineeship you also gain hands-on skills and work experience, and improve your employment prospects, while earning a wage. On successful completion you will gain a nationally recognised qualification which can lead to rewarding career options. The difference between a traineeship and an apprenticeship is that a traineeship can be either a full time or part time employment based training arrangement, usually for a nominal duration of 12 months or more, generally in a non-trade related area.
To find out how to arrange a traineeship and study at South Metropolitan TAFE, please contact the Jobs and Skills Centre closest to you.
Entrance requirements for part-time study
You must have a trade certificate (minimum Certificate III) or an overseas graduate certificate to qualify for this course.
Earthquake engineers design new buildings and infrastructure to withstand disasters, and assess the vulnerability of existing buildings and infrastructure, drawing from expertise in structural and geotechnical engineering.
Engineering technologists focus on practical design and applied technology, working across a wide range of engineering disciplines. The Bachelor of Engineering Technology prepares you for diverse engineering careers.
