Overview

This degree program is designed for those wishing to work in the ADF as an Aeronautical Engineering Technologist but not necessarily as a fully-qualified Engineer. Engineers Australia accredits this three-year technology program at the Engineering Technologist level. At the discretion of the Services, there is provision for you if you have completed the Bachelor of Technology and wish to upgrade to a Bachelor of Engineering degree in Aeronautical Engineering by undertaking 18 months of further study at a later stage. This degree should not be confused with the Bachelor of Technology (Aviation) degree, which is designed specifically for Aircrew – Pilots, Joint Battlefield Airspace Controllers (Air Traffic Controllers) and Air Combat Officers.

Aeronautical Technology in an ADF career

The Bachelor of Technology (Aeronautical Engineering) is primarily undertaken by Air Force Officer Cadets who intend to become Aircrew and wish to enhance their understanding of the operation and performance of aircraft. However, the program is also available to Cadets in any of the Services and graduates are employed in many technical branches of the ADF.
