This program combines the complementary disciplines of sustainable systems engineering and industrial design to give you a head-start in the industry. In the sustainable systems engineering component you’ll learn holistic approaches to the design of sustainable technologies and engineering systems for global sustainable development. You’ll learn to protect, restore and create engineered and natural systems that are socially, environmentally and economically sustainable. Industrial design offers technical, theoretical and applied design opportunities. With a focus of the program is on developing innovative, original and ethical designers. A substantial project is undertaken in the final year, providing an opportunity to integrate engineering and industrial design capabilities. In addition, design studio provides research and design project experiences where real world projects are undertaken within industry and community organisations on issues of significance.

Graduates will find work in areas of energy, transport, logistics, sustainable product design, energy efficiency, renewable energy, sustainable transport systems and vehicles, manufacturing and logistics. Professional recognition and accreditation The Bachelor of Engineering (Sustainable Systems Engineering) degree is provisionally accredited by Engineers Australia and once approved graduates will be eligible to apply for graduate membership.
