In this degree, students combine innovative design and creative engineering. They will learn through making as they get hands-on with advanced technologies, including 3D printing, under the guidance of Griffith’s experienced teaching staff.
This degree sits within both the Queensland College of Art and the Griffith School of Engineering, which is testament to the practical and interdisciplinary nature of your study. Students will be taught electronics, mechanics, thermofluids and more by engineering specialists, while also being taught design skills, digital modelling and 3D printing by design professionals. The result is a well-rounded degree that sets students up to start their career equipped with the skills and knowledge they need.
This degree also incorporates an international focus on digital and advanced technology manufacturing, giving students the chance to develop an understanding of how a product is created, from design to delivery, in a global context.
Throughout your degree, you’ll interact with experts in the industry to put what you learn in the classroom into practice while developing strong industry connections. In your first year, you’ll have the opportunity to visit design houses to get a feel for industrial design in application. Further into your degree, you will work with design professionals while embedded in their businesses as part of your assessment. Once you graduate you are eligible to become a member of the Design Institute of Australia, as this industry body recognises your degree.
