Bachelor of Engineering - Architectural Engineering (Honours)
University of Wollongong
Type of institution: University/Higher Education Institution
Level: Undergraduate
CRICOS: 00102E
Architectural engineering bridges the gap between the professions of architect and engineer. Build on your passions for engineering and ecologically sustainable design to develop your integrative design skills, as you learn to create buildings that are functional, efficient, and beautiful with minimal environmental impact. You will learn about architectural engineering, net zero energy and minimum environmental impact buildings that are integrated with renewable energy. Your studies will include integrative and collaborative design, construction technology, history and theory of architectural engineering, project and practice management, and more.
Structure
4 years full-time or part-time equivalent. Total of 192 credit points. Students study a common first year allowing them to learn more about engineering and its different fields before deciding which discipline to study. The common first year provides students with sound fundamentals in mathematics, statistics, physics, chemistry, computing, engineering science and communication, mechanics, and materials. Students then focus on a chosen major study from the second year. All UOW Engineering students undertake 12 weeks of practical hands-on industry experience prior to the conclusion of their academic studies.
Subjects
- Study areas in construction technology
- environmental and cultural studies
- history and theory of architectural engineering
- integrative and collaborative design studies
- project and practice management.
Standard entry requirements
DOMESTIC STUDENTS - ATAR-BASED ADMISSION OPTIONS Guaranteed entry selection ranks Entry to this course can be gained with: Minimum ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admission Rank) International Baccalaureate (IB) Interstate equivalent (such as the Victorian ENTER or Queensland OP) Results in an overseas qualification deemed equivalent to Australian year 12 The minimum score for guaranteed entry (or for consideration if this course has limited places) is an ATAR-Selection Rank of 80 or an IB of 29. This includes the effect of adjustment factors. Adjustment factors, such as the subjects you are studying, the area in which you live or equity and access schemes, are taken into consideration and these will be combined with your ATAR to adjust your selection rank and make it higher than your ATAR. Find out more about UOW adjustment factors here: https://www.uow.edu.au/future/school/apply/index.html ASSUMED KNOWLEDGE AND RECOMMENDED STUDIES The University assumes students will have studied any 2 units of English, Mathematics Advanced (not Mathematics Standard 2). Ideally, students will have studied Engineering Studies, Mathematics Extension 1, Physics, and Chemistry (Chemistry not necessary for biomedical, computer, electrical, mechatronic or telecommunications engineering). INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS Applicants need to have achieved the required score in a qualification equivalent to the completion of 13 years of schooling in Australia. In order to succeed in your chosen course, it is assumed you have completed relevant subjects in your senior high school studies or other relevant qualifications. This is particularly important for degrees which have a strong basis in Mathematics or Science.
Study pathways
If you can demonstrate that you have met the learning outcomes for our subjects through prior learning, such as previous tertiary or TAFE qualifications, you may be eligible for credit for prior learning towards your degree. Where relevant to the UOW degree, specified credit may be given for specific subject(s); where not relevant to the degree, unspecified credit may be awarded. Upon successful completion of the UOW College Diploma of Engineering, you will receive credit of 48 credit points towards a Bachelor of Engineering (BE) at UOW. You will be required to meet minimum subject requirements in order to progress from the Diploma of Engineering into the second year of a BE.
