Bachelor of Engineering (Research and Development)
Organisations invest in R&D in order to gain a competitive advantage over others. R&D is at the forefront of new product design and development and is a wealth and change generator. Innovative solutions to many of the problems in society today will come from those working in R&D.
R&D is carried out in industry, government and in academic organistions, and often in partnerships between all three sectors.
The BE(R&D) is designed for students who want to work in R&D in either a commerical, industrial or academic environment. It also provides students with a pathway to a PhD.
R&D opportunities exist in a wide range of industries including defence, energy and power, advanced manufacturing, aeronautical, transport, and communications to name just a few. Students will complete an engineering major, so you will also be able to pursue a traditional engineering career if you wish.
