The manufacturing industry is transforming with innovative technologies, leading to exciting new careers and opportunities for engineers who want to be at the forefront of change. Queensland is an international market leader in providing advanced manufacturing technologies for local and global supply chains (Department of Natural Resources and Mines, Manufacturing and Regional and Rural Development, 2024). 

 

In this degree, you will learn to strategically apply new technologies and modes of manufacturing to help streamline operations and innovate. You’ll learn to address emerging trends in de-carbonisation and lead projects using sustainable materials and processes such as biofuels and animal-free food production. You'll learn how to build sustainability and resilience into a manufacturing process when supply chain impacts affect production.

 

Once your master degree is underway, you’ll have opportunities to learn in cutting edge facilities such as our Mackay Pilot Plant, based on the site of an operating sugar factory, which is a unique research and development facility that converts biomass into biofuels, green chemicals and other bioproducts at the pilot scale.

 

You’ll also have access to ArmHUB – our jointly owned innovation hub for agile robotics, AI and design for manufacture industry. The hub is at the forefront of industrial transformation, building strong local supply chains and preparing companies for success in global markets.
