Bachelor of Engineering Honours

About

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.
