Bachelor of Engineering Technology
If Physics and Mathematics were your strengths at school, then a degree in Engineering may well be the beginning of an extremely rewarding career. Possible destination jobs include engineering in the fields of aerospace, civil, automotive and mechanical.
Learn how to deal with complex systems and manage large-scale projects and solve real-life problems. This degree offers comprehensive preparation using the most appropriate emerging technologies.
The first year of engineering study at the SIT has a core of five compulsory papers, plus a choice of electives.
