Biomedical Engineers use microcomputers, lasers, and other materials to develop and improve medical research equipment that is used to diagnose health problems. They may be involved in the development of medical products and different types of equipment used to monitor and treat patients and in designing and improving equipment for people with disabilities.

Aerospace Engineers design, construct and operate aircraft, aerospace vehicles and propulsion systems. This includes planes, jets, helicopters, gliders, missiles and spacecraft. They are involved in researching, developing and testing new materials, engines, body shapes and structures that may increase the speed and strength of aircraft. The aerospace industry in Australia is changing from having an introspective defence-dependent focus to a more export-oriented outlook. Opportunities now exist for research and development into composite material and manufacturing techniques, exploring how products are made.

Building Services Engineers are involved with designing heating, air-conditioning, electric lighting and power, water and gas supply, plumbing and drainage systems. Fire safety and security systems, phones, faxes, intercoms, computers, lifts and escalators are all needed for a functional and safe work environment.

Engineers in this field find, produce, use and improve oil and natural gas based on geological study. Methods of removing oil and gas from the earth safely and economically are constantly being researched and tested. Raw materials extracted from the earth or oceans are turned into synthetic fibres, dyes, detergents and many forms of plastics materials and products.

Civil Engineers are responsible for the design and construction of all our transport systems, the design and management of our gas and water supply, sewerage systems, harbours, airports and railways. They plan, design and test the structures of private and public buildings and facilities.

Marine Engineers are involved in designing, testing, and improving machinery and equipment used at sea. This machinery may include propulsion machinery, electrical, refrigeration, air conditioning, cargo handling and domestic services equipment. It is their responsibility to check that it is all functioning effectively and being properly maintained. A marine Engineer needs to have a good understanding of the way in which all these systems operate.

Software Engineering is about creating high-quality software in a systematic, controlled, and efficient manner. It is an approach to designing software to maximise quality and reliability by treating it as a formal engineering process. In a software engineering approach to building software there is important emphasis on analysis and design, specification and evaluation of software.

Engineers who specialise in software can work for industries as varied as:

entertainment (think games development)

transport (e.g. fly-by-wire, autopilots, driverless trains smart ticketing, online travel booking and check- in)

resources (e.g. mining software and aerial mapping/terrain modelling)

defence (e.g. terror attack simulations and submarine navigation)

medicine (e.g. diagnosis software, implant development)

telecommunications.

Westmead Private Hospital has made a quantum leap in surgical technology - investing in the latest robotic system to provide the very best in patient care.

Surgeons say the da Vinci Xi robot is ‘like an extension of their hands’, giving them an advanced set of instruments to perform many different types of complex surgery.

AMRs are industrial robots that lift and transport materials such as pallets, navigating themselves by reading QR codes and sensing obstacles. They have been used in warehouses, distribution centers, and production facilities for about a decade, but they are now attracting more attention as experienced material handling companies have begun integrating them into their solutions.
