Overview

This course is an engineering technologist-level program which is similar in nature to the Bachelor of Engineering (C10067) but does not provide full professional engineering status.

This course provides students with the skills required at an engineering technologist level — and hence the ability to work with professional engineers — without developing full professional engineering competencies.

Career options

Career options include positions in engineering teams across the full spectrum of engineering activities. Specific career options depend on the major chosen.

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

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 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.

Transfer between UTS courses

Students enrolled in the Bachelor of Engineering Science may (dependent upon performance and requirements) be allowed to transfer to the Bachelor of Engineering (C10067). This involves completion of the remaining 25 per cent of Bachelor of Engineering subjects, which can be achieved in one year.
