Bachelor of Technology (Aviation)
This three year full-time degree course prepares students for
careen in the aviation industry as either professional pilots
or in other professional capacities. Skill training and
education processes are weighted equally in this coune
where there is need to provide a high level of both flying
prowess and the ability to solve problems through the
application of methodical and rational thinking.
The course incorporates the theory subjects required by the
Australian Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) up to Airline
Transport Pilot Licence (ATPL) standard.
Students who successfully complete this course are awarded
the degree of Bachelor of Technology (Aviation) and those
who undertake the flying hours necessary will also gain a
Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL).
The objectives of this course are to provide professional,
tertiary training for the aviation industry in general, and for
pilots in particular. During the three year duration of the
course, adequate time and facilities are provided to enable
students to undertake the flying training necessaty to reach
commercial pilot standard. Additional flying training to suit
particular needs, such as instructor, instrument or agricultural
ratings is also available.
Strong emphasis will be placed on engineering aspects of
aviation and flying, and a strong sense of practical problem
solving will be engendered in students. Various motivational
subjects will be included to maintain a high level of
dedication in students.

POSO Bachelor of Engineering
(Manufacturing)
The course is an industry based learning (cooperative)
program of four-and-a-half years' duration and is designed
to provide integrated academic and industrial training.
The course is designed to develop student abilities in the
fundamental engineering sciences and technologies. It
provides management training in a broad range of
disciplines related to the planning and operation of
manufacturing enterprises.
The course is accredited by The Institution of Engineers,
Australia. Completion of the course gives full exemption
from the requirements for admission as a graduate member.
In the second and subsequent years of the course students
specialise in either:
Production engineering and design
or
Chemical engineering and design.
The special study subjects are denoted (P) and (C)
respectively in the details of the course structure.
