Where will engineering take you? Training dragons and walking with dinosaurs AvON PERERA Bachelor of Engineering in the field of Mechanical Engineering and Bachelor of Design (Industrial Design) Monash Engineering graduate Avon Perera has entered a new world of training dragons and walking with dinosaurs. Avon completed a double degree in mechanical engineering and industrial design at Monash University and now utilises his skills every day at The Creature Technology Company (CTC). ‘CTC was formed in 2006 to create full-scale naturalistic dinosaurs for Walking with Dinosaurs – the Arena Spectacular. Since then we have created a second touring show of
Walking with Dinosaurs as well as an ongoing project based on bringing King Kong to the stage. Our latest project was an adaptation of Dreamworks’ “How to Train Your Dragon” movie into an arena spectacular’, says Avon. Avon’s work is inspired by Theo Jansen – a remarkable artist who creates kinetic sculptures – who once said, ‘the walls between art and engineering exist only in our minds’.
Engineering: Make things happen Engineer literally means ‘to make things happen’. Engineers are inventors; converting science knowledge into successful innovation, and producing some of the greatest advances in humankind’s wellbeing.
Engineers solve problems, figure out how things work and create solutions. Engineers work on many different projects and find themselves in a variety of environments. Engineers are key to the development of society and solving the challenges the world currently faces such as climate change, natural resource depletion, food shortages and increased demands on energy.
Why should I become an engineer? Engineers possess a rare combination of skills and qualities that place them in demand, in many different industries. An engineer’s career is diverse, interesting and can be anywhere in the world.

Engineer shortage As the engineering workforce ages and the world is shifting to an innovation economy, the demand for engineers increases. A report by Engineers Australia has highlighted the serious nature of Australia’s engineering skills shortage. The report shows that the increases in the number of Australian trained engineers graduating each year are still not enough to solve Australia’s engineering skills shortage.
“This has a range of workforce flow-on effects and has led to delays across a number of engineering and infrastructure projects”, said Stephen Durkin, CEO of Engineers Australia. What does this mean for engineers? More jobs, more pay. The shortage is not limited to Australia. According to the Times Higher Education it is estimated that UK engineering companies will have 2.74 million job opportunities between 2010–2020. 87,000 of these per year will require a degree qualification –
The UK only produces 46,000 engineering graduates each year. In the USA demand for engineers has grown dramatically. According to data and analytics company, Identified, the USA is increasing its intake of foreign trained engineers to try to bridge the gap – and an engineer’s salary in the USA is on average 23 per cent higher than the average salaries nationwide. President Obama has said, “we have made incredible progress in education… but we still don’t have enough engineers”.
An engineering degree from Monash university gives you a competitive edge. As a Monash engineering graduate, you can be a highly sought-after industry professional – when you first enter the workforce and throughout your career.
According to the Association of Professional Engineers, scientists and Managers Australia the average starting salary for graduate engineers in Melbourne is $56,755.

Whether it is the next generation jet engine, a biodegradable tissue scaffold to grow organs from stem cells or new types of solar cells and batteries – the structure, properties and processing of materials are crucial to the final product.
Wide treatment is given to the properties of metallic alloys, plastics, ceramics, nanomaterials, biomaterials, corrosion and composites.
Materials engineers cover everything from the thermal protection of the space shuttle and high-tech artificial hip and cochlear implants, to nanoparticles that seek and destroy cancer.
Students complete a thesis following a research project in which they work with research groups in their laboratories. Attention is given to special topics such as biomaterials, modelling, recycling, optimisation of properties, performance of materials in service and mechanical behaviour including shaping and fabrication. There is a capstone design project in which students use design principles and knowledge acquired to design a defined item for application.
Materials engineering is truly interdisciplinary. It involves physics, mathematics, biology and chemistry – culminating in a ground breaking, thriving job market for aspiring engineers. It also is highly suitable for engineers seeking to do research.

Mining is essential to our daily lives and contributes to fulfilling the desires of a modern society. Mining engineers are highly qualified in various areas such as geology, metallurgy, the environment and sustainability, mine planning and project management, safety, communication skills, and leadership. Mining engineers work in all aspects of exploring, planning, extracting and processing minerals. It is essential that mining engineers work with the community to produce a sustainable solution with a minimal environmental footprint.
Mining engineering at Monash lEvEl 1 Level one includes the basic sciences such as mathematics, physics and chemistry, combined with a geoscience unit related to the planet and its environment, and an introductory mining engineering unit.

I chose Monash for its highly respected reputation within the industry. The program has an excellent mix of theoretical and practical work, delivered by lecturers who are highly decorated. The program was driven by industry based course work and offered me the opportunity to complete a double degree. Read more > eng.monash.edu.au/prospective/ profiles/profile/daniel-romanin
Chemical engineers can design, run and troubleshoot production facilities, but their training typically excludes the skills to develop pharmaceutical products. Similarly, pharmaceutical science graduates can invent and test new products, but they lack the know-how to manage the product process beyond the laboratory stage. Pharmaceutical engineering is a growing interdisciplinary field that breeds professionals capable of covering the full spectrum of the pharmaceutical product design and development process.
Pharmaceutical science and engineering at Monash lEvEl 1 – Parkville campus Students complete the standard first year of the Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Science. lEvEl 2 – Clayton campus Students undertake a compressed version of the engineering common first year and units from the second year
chemical engineering program including material and energy balances, heat and mass transfer and engineering thermodynamics. lEvEl 3 – Parkville campus Students complete the core second year units of the pharmaceutical science program and selected third year units in formulation chemistry. lEvEl 4 – Clayton campus Higher level chemical engineering units, including those from the biotechnology stream are completed. lEvEl 5 – Clayton campus Students undertake a thesis project in formulation or chemical engineering, or both. Chemical engineering units engineering in society, particle technology, transport phenomena and numerical methods and biochemical engineering, are studied. Twelve weeks of vacation employment is undertaken during the program allowing you to get experience in securing employment, a taste for working in industry and a head start on your career.
