Across Australia and the world, businesses are seeking employees with the knowledge and skills to design, build and maintain innovative products.

Next-generation computers and tablets, smart phones, low-emission cars, biomechanical limbs and industrial robots are just some of the products created by engineers going beyond the conventional. Engineers also play a crucial role in solving the sustainability issues facing the world today.

The career options available to engineering and technology graduates are vast. In engineering alone there are numerous specialisations to choose from, including product design, electrical and electronics, civil, biomedical, mechanical, robotics and mechatronics.

Record-breaking robot

In 2011 Swinburne engineering students developed the world's fastest two-handed Rubik's Cube-solving robot. Named Ruby, the robot can solve the scrambled puzzle in just 10.69 seconds, including the time taken to scan the initial status of the cube. It was built from scratch by six students as their final-year Capstone Project.
