Build the Future from Bundaberg

The next generation of engineers won’t just come from Australia’s capital cities.

They’ll come from regional communities like Bundaberg.

If you’re a Year 10, 11 or 12 student interested in Mathematics, Science, Technology or solving real-world problems, the Engineering Link Roadshow is your opportunity to experience engineering first-hand.

Spend the day with engineers, university staff and like-minded students discovering what engineering really looks like beyond the classroom.

Engineering is everywhere in the Wide Bay

Bundaberg is a region built on innovation.

Local engineers contribute to:

  • Advanced Manufacturing
  • Food Processing
  • Agricultural Technology
  • Irrigation Systems
  • Renewable Energy
  • Coastal Infrastructure
  • Water Management
  • Transport
  • Regional Development

As Queensland continues to grow, engineers will help solve some of our biggest challenges—from food security and climate resilience to sustainable infrastructure.

Discover engineering through experience

Forget sitting through lectures.

Instead you’ll:

  • Work in engineering teams
  • Solve authentic design challenges
  • Learn how engineers think
  • Meet practising engineers
  • Explore engineering pathways at university
  • Experience engineering in action

You’ll leave with a much clearer picture of whether engineering is the right pathway for you.

If you enjoy logical thinking, creativity and problem solving, engineering may be exactly what you’re looking for.

Your career doesn’t have to stay local

Engineering allows you to make a difference wherever you choose to live.

Many graduates build careers in regional Queensland.

Others work across Australia or overseas on projects involving:

  • Smart Cities
  • Renewable Energy
  • Medical Technology
  • Defence
  • Aviation
  • Mining
  • Humanitarian Engineering
  • Sustainable Development

Engineering is one of the few careers where local knowledge and global opportunities go hand in hand.

Students love the experience

Across previous Roadshow events:

  • Nearly every participant recommended the experience.
  • Many students said the workshops gave them confidence to pursue engineering.
  • Participants particularly valued solving real engineering problems while working alongside professionals.

Description:

CQUniversity Bundaberg is located on a green, tree-studded 23-hectare site on Bundaberg’s southern outskirts, adjacent to the airport and only six kilometres from the Bundaberg city centre. CQUniversity Bundaberg offers small class sizes, with very individually-focussed, high quality educational service provision, across a wide range of university study programs.

CQUniversity Bundaberg has a friendly, supportive atmosphere that caters for students of all ages. You can study on-campus or by distance from home. Prior learning and work experience are taken into consideration and CQUniversity even offers enabling programs to help you prepare for tertiary education.

CQUniversity Bundaberg is a modern, purpose-built campus, offering students new, innovative buildings and facilities. Distributed among the academic buildings are the library, bookshop, campus refectory, a 200-seat and a 100‑seat lecture theatre (with state-of-the-art electronic equipment), four computer laboratories (two with 20‑hour-a-day student access), nursing clinical laboratories and video conferencing rooms. The campus boasts interactive electronically transmitted lectures to integrate CQUniversity Bundaberg with other campuses.

Since 2007 students have had access to a $4.7 million dollar academic and research building which includes a state-of-the-art 64-seat scientific laboratory, sound studio and multi-media and science research facilities.
