This program aims to integrate advanced digital engineering design and digital manufacturing technologies with product lifecycle management. This program focuses on technologies supporting the entire life cycle of an engineering product. This incorporates all design aspects for manufacturing and maintenance, and the disassembly, disposal, recycling and reuse of industrial products. You will develop the skills to meet the global demand for specialist engineers and industrial designers. The program provides a holistic understanding of the engineering lifecycle management process based in integrated computer aided engineering (CAE) platforms. These platforms are now regarded by industry as best practice. The application of cutting-edge technical knowledge and expertise in the creation of products and associated services will have strong potential to bring sustainable growth and high economic return. Created in partnership with industry, the program uses a project-based learning approach that will expose you to advanced CAE concepts and skills. You will use CAE in practical activities and industry-led projects based on 3D real-time life-like learning experiences. You will be exposed to state-of-the-art infrastructure at the Advanced Manufacturing Precinct. This facility is equipped with the latest 3D visualisation technology and advanced digital manufacturing machines to realise your designs in physical form. You will also have access to the super-computer facilities that are available in the VPAC High Performance Computing facility.

Graduates will have a comprehensive understanding of product lifecycle management including design, manufacturing, maintenance and recycling of industrial products in a range of industrial settings. The Australian Government, Department of Employment, employment projections' predict a growth in the sectors of Computer System design, operation and maintenance of mechanical and process plant and installations, and programs that coordinate the manufacturing activities to ensure usage of resources is cost effective. Professional recognition and accreditation You may be eligible for worldwide industry certification from Dassault Systèmes in key industry software.
