About the course

　　From faster and more fuel-efficient planes, to new ways to make flying cheaper and safer, you’ll be at the forefront of the technologies that are changing the aviation industry.

　　QUT is one of Australia’s leading universities in avionics research, and you’ll benefit from our strong partnerships with industry and government. Through field trips and training in our advanced engineering labs, you’ll get hands-on experience working with all types of aircraft, from aeroplanes and helicopters, to satellites, spacecraft and unmanned aircraft vehicles (UAVs).

　　Electrical and aerospace engineering involves design, development, manufacture and maintenance work on the electronic systems of aeroplanes, helicopters, spacecraft, satellites and uninhabited aerial vehicles (UAVs). If you are interested in how things work, space and flight, technology, electronics and aircraft systems, an electrical and aerospace career could be for you.

　　Careers and outcomes

　　As an electrical and aerospace engineer, you’ll use systems engineering methodology to design and maintain the electronic systems of all types of aircraft, from aeroplanes and helicopters, to satellites, spacecraft and unmanned aircraft vehicles (UAVs).

　　Aerospace and electrical engineers gain employment in a range of fields and industries including major electrical end aerospace companies and airlines, engineering and technology start-ups, air transport safety, management and regulation and defence. As your career progresses, you may then move into more senior engineering roles, management or into other sectors that actively seek engineering capabilities (including finance, health, transportation, construction and environment, public sector, consultancy).
