Bachelor of Engineering Science/Master of Engineering
Charles Darwin University (CDU)
Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Undergraduate
CRICOS: 00300K
The Bachelor of Engineering Science/Master of Engineering is an internationally accredited combined course that, upon completion, qualifies you to be recognized as a professional engineer. Developed with global industry leaders for industry, you will graduate job-ready in your area of specialization. Choose to specialize in either civil and structural engineering, electrical and electronics engineering, or mechanical engineering. Study 100% online, or on campus with flexibility to study full-time or part-time, and learn from award-winning engineers and lecturers. The Bachelor's component of the course develops the necessary core skills and knowledge for your specialization. You then move to the more advanced Master's level of study, and finish the course with a research thesis and design project. The Bachelor's degree will provide you with a sound base of fundamental engineering principles, followed by specific learning in the theory and practice of your specialization. The Master's degree will expand your engineering specialist knowledge, with an emphasis on the themes of sustainability, creativity, teamwork, design, research and leadership. As a professional: Civil and Structural Engineer, you will continually challenge traditional civil and construction methods with creativity and innovation to help design and manage structures for the modern world. Key areas include structures, water resources, roads and traffic, bridges and marine structures. Electrical and Electronics Engineer, you are responsible for the design, automation and control of devices which make modern life convenient. Key areas include electronics, telecommunications, biomedical applications, and power generation and distribution, including renewable energy. Mechanical Engineer, you are involved in the design and build of large and small devices which improve transportation, and provide affordable manufacturing and production solutions. Key areas include mechatronics, robotics, biomechanical applications, aeroplanes, cars, pumps and pipelines.
Structure
The first year of study introduces basic engineering skills common to all engineering specializations. In subsequent years you will follow a study path specifically developed for your area of engineering. The final year of study includes a major research thesis and a system design project. The program includes two 12-week work placements, ensuring that you are familiar with current engineering practice and can 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.
