C10066v3 Bachelor of Engineering Science

Overview

Career options

Graduates are able to work as part of engineering teams across the full spectrum of engineering activities. Specific career options depend on the major chosen.

Articulation

Additional assumed knowledge

Mathematics Extension 1; Physics; and English Standard.

English Advanced is recommended.

Course duration and attendance

This course can be completed in three years of full-time study.

Course structure

The program overall comprises three principal components: the core program, the fields of practice subjects, and the electives.

A total of 144 credit points is required for graduation, distributed in the following way:

• core program: 42 credit points
• fields of practice (including a major BEngSc project): 84 credit points, and
• electives: 18 credit points.

The degree may be taken with a designated major, which students usually select at entry. Opportunities exist in later years for students to apply to change majors. Students may choose not to take a major, instead taking a general program comprising subjects from different areas of engineering.

Course completion requirements

Course program

Most subjects are offered in Spring and Autumn semesters, sometimes as day classes and sometimes as evening classes. The programs shown below for each major show the recommended sequence for students undertaking the course full time. The course can also be undertaken part time or with a combination of full-time and part-time attendance in different semesters. The subjects taken in any one semester are determined by what is on offer and any subject requisites. The program for students undertaking the Civil Engineering major beyond Year 1 depends on which specialisation is chosen.

Professional recognition

Institution of Engineers Australia

This course is recognised and accredited at the level of Engineering Technologist.
