Spacecraft. Wind turbines. Robots. Smartphones. Automated machines. You’ll find an industrial engineer behind all of these. If humans manufactured it, it was probably designed by an industrial engineer.

Establish your career at the forefront of technology with La Trobe's accredited Bachelor of Engineering Honours (Industrial).

Develop strong foundations in the core elements of industrial engineering, while exploring areas such as advanced automation, artificial intelligence and data analytics.

You'll learn from leading academics in small classes, giving you an invaluable intimate learning experience. And you'll benefit from our state-of-the-art teaching and research facilities, while developing your industry networks through work placements and networking events with major employers.

You'll learn:

Engineering design

Understand how to rapidly solve problems using fundamental mathematical and scientific principles.

Programming for engineers

Learn Python programming language and understand how to use algorithms to solve engineering challenges.

Electrical and electronic engineering

Learn how to design, develop and test electrical and electronic equipment, such as electric vehicles or navigation systems.

Robotic system design

Find out how to build robots and robotic systems and improve their efficiency and safety.

Innovation in engineering
