Overview

Engineer creative and logical solutions for real-world challenges. The Bachelor of Engineering Honours provides advanced science, in theory and practice, to qualify you as an engineer and solve problems in infrastructure, the environment or technology.

Choose to specialise in either civil and structural, electrical and electronics or mechanical engineering. Study 100% online, or on-campus with flexibility to study full-time or part-time and qualify as an engineer in Australia and internationally.

This course will;

-         Provide an advanced understanding of the scientific and technical principles of engineering

-         Harness your ability to think creatively and innovatively 

-         Provide practical hands-on experience through 12-weeks of industry placement

-         Develop teamwork and management skills for planning and execution of engineering projects or research within an engineering discipline.

This course has been developed in consultation with, and supported by, industry leaders so you'll graduate with engineering skills that directly align with international industry requirements.

As a professional:

  • civil and structural engineer, you will be able to combine traditional and current construction methods with creativity and innovation, including the design and management of structures for the modern world. Your studies will focus on developing sustainable and ethical civil and structural solutions in areas such as structural engineering, water and roads, and traffic, and their uses and principles of sustainability.
  • electrical and electronics engineer, you will be able to fulfil major roles in the design, automation and control of devices which make modern life convenient. You will be involved in electronics, telecommunications, biomedical applications and power generation, storage and distribution, including renewable energy. You will develop skills in communication methods, electronic control systems and power engineering, together with a background of sustainable engineering principles.
  • mechanical engineer, you will be able to have a major role in the design and construction of equipment for improved transport, and to provide affordable manufacturing and production solutions for the manufacturing industry. Key areas include biomechanical applications, aeroplanes, cars, pumps, pipelines and air conditioning systems.



Prerequisite

NTCET/SACE Stage 2: Mathematical Methods or Physics. Alternatively, completion of CDU unit SMA104 Concepts of Mathematics or equivalent.

Practical experience

A feature of the course is the completion of 450 hours of professional practice, ensuring you are familiar with current engineering practice and begin to create your network of engineering contacts for future employment.

Professional recognition

ENGINEERS AUSTRALIA

The Bachelor of Engineering Honours (all specialisations) is accredited by Engineers Australia at the level of Professional Engineer and therefore recognised internationally under the Washington Accord.

What will I study?

The first year of study introduces foundation engineering skills common to and necessary for all areas of engineering. This provides a broad background useful for all students, before they go on to specialise in their chosen area of engineering.

Course structure

Subsequent years build on the foundation of the first year to provide specific learning appropriate to the chosen specialisation. The final year includes a design project and a thesis, both of which are capstone units intended to bring together all the learning of the previous years and prepare you for a career as a professional engineer.

A feature of the program is twelve weeks of industrial work experience, ensuring that you are familiar with current engineering practice and begin to create your network of engineering contacts for future employment.

This course is available externally by distance learning if you are not able to attend classes on campus on a regular basis. Access to the internet is required for distance learning, with access to high speed broadband highly recommended.

STUDENTS COMMENCING IN SEMESTER 1

The Recommended Study Plans provided below are suitable for students enrolling in a full-time or part-time study load. Students entering this course with advanced standing, or wishing to vary their study plan due to work, personal, financial or other reasons should use the table as a guide to create an individual study plan.

When designing an individual study plan:

  • maintain the basic order in which units are to be attempted; and
  • check the prerequisite and assumed knowledge for each unit as some units assume you have completed foundation unit/s in the unit area at a lower level.

STUDENTS COMMENCING IN SEMESTER 2

The Recommended Study Plans provided below are suitable for students enrolling in a full-time or part-time study load. Students entering this course with advanced standing, or wishing to vary their study plan due to work, personal, financial or other reasons should use the table as a guide to create an individual study plan.

When designing an individual study plan:

  • maintain the basic order in which units are to be attempted; and
  • check the prerequisite and assumed knowledge for each unit as some units assume you have completed foundation unit/s in the unit area at a lower level.
