C10067v3 Bachelor of Engineering

Note(s)

Overview

This course is identical to the Bachelor of Engineering, Diploma in Engineering Practice except there is no Diploma in Engineering Practice requirement and hence no requirement for students to undertake internships. The course provides an opportunity for international students to experience practice-based education in an Australian context. It allows international students more flexibility to negotiate their workplace experience before or after the completion of the course or during vacation periods.

Engineering education in many countries is undergoing revolutionary change, and the UTS program is at the forefront of much of this change.
