Engineering and design at DeakinInnovative course designInnovation is at the heart of great engineering, with design playing a central role. Deakin’s Centre for Advanced Design in Engineering Training (CADET) provides some of the best future-focused engineering and design facilities, and a curriculum framework configured around ‘design-based learning’ and industry collaboration, enabling our graduates to become as visionary and forward thinking as CADET itself.

Project-oriented design-based learning (PODBL)PODBL in collaboration with industry is a key feature of our engineering degrees. This new, innovative teaching methodology means that practical learning experiences are woven throughout the duration of our engineering courses.

In addition to traditional theory-based classes, you will learn through team-based projects, in which you will take real-world industry problems, and design, research, test and evaluate solutions, with the support of an academic.

The work-integrated learning program gives you the chance to undertake a full-time or part-time industry placement as part of your studies.

To learn more about industry placements, visit deakin.edu.au/sebe/study-opportunities/work-integrated-learning.

World-class facilitiesEngineering students at Deakin will use world-class facilities located within the CADET and the Institute for Frontier Materials (IFM). Having access to some of the best facilities in the Australian sector allows students to realise and validate their designs through combinations of computer simulation, prototyping, testing and manufacturing. The teaching-focused approach in CADET ensures that students have extensive access to state-of-the-art equipment enabling them to gain practical experience and a deeper understanding of their use.

Key facilities/laboratories • Virtual reality • 3D printing/additive manufacturing • Materials and manufacturing • Renewable energy • High voltage • Geomechanical • Concrete and structural testing • Water

CADET is a partnership between Deakin University and the Australian Government.

Connecting students with industry

Shell Eco-marathon is a competition that challenges students around the world to design, build and drive the most energy-efficient car. It has three annual events, and winners are determined by the mileage achieved on a litre of fuel, rather than by speed.

In 2016 Deakin entered a team in the competition for the second time, with student teams from 17 countries taking part.

The progress achieved by team members during the competition was a highlight for the team’s major sponsor, Carbon Revolution. Ash Denmead from the company said, ‘It has been great seeing this group of young engineers develop the vehicle and as a team this year. Watching them overcome the challenges through the year and make incremental changes to double their fuel mileage has been incredibly rewarding to see as both a sponsor and as an individual.’

He also noted that the competition experience is the type of thing employers ‘look for in graduate engineers, those people who can demonstrate experience in real-world challenging environments’, saying it is what gets you ‘past the interview stage in the selection process’.
