Digital infrastructure engineers work on the systems that connect the physical and digital world. They design the infrastructure for driving sustainable and resilient outcomes for businesses, projects, asset management, and ecosystems.
As a digital infrastructure engineering graduate, you'll work in industries on pressing problems and application solutions across:
Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC)
Facilities management
Humanitarian engineering
Livability, sustainability, access, health, and resilience of our society.
The infrastructure sector in Australia is booming and relying on digital engineering tools like Building Information Modelling (BIM), Internet of Things (IoT), Digital Twins and virtual reality. With digital systems required in many industries, you can meet the demand for skilled people to assist with the transition to digital strategies and systems.
Learn how to position infrastructure, observations, or events using digital resources like satellites, robots, or laser scanning. You鈥檒l integrate this data with statistics, machine learning and data simulations so you can visualise and communicate processes, patterns, and predictions.
