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 specialize 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 will graduate with engineering skills that directly align with international industry requirements. As a professional: Civil and Structural Engineer, you will be able to harness creativity and innovation in the design and management of modern structures by integrating both traditional and contemporary construction techniques. Our program places a strong emphasis on the development of sustainable and ethical civil and structural solutions, covering key areas such as structural engineering, water management, and road and traffic systems, Electrical and Electronics Engineer, you will play a key part in the design, automation, and control of devices that simplify modern life. Engaging in fields such as electronics, telecommunications, and power generation, including renewable energy, will be a significant aspect of your work. You will develop valuable skills in communication methods, electronic control systems, and power engineering, together with a background of sustainable engineering principles. Mechanical Engineer, you will play a significant role in the design and construction of equipment aimed at enhancing transport efficiency, while also providing cost-effective manufacturing and production solutions for the manufacturing industry. Key areas of focus will include aircraft, automobiles, pumps and pipelines.
Structure
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 specialize in their chosen area of engineering. Subsequent years build on the foundation of the first year to provide specific learning appropriate to the chosen specialization. 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.
