Overview
This combined degree (two testamurs) is the same as the Bachelor of Engineering Bachelor of Science (C10073), except for the additional requirement of two internships and completion of the Engineering Practice Program. Students can transfer to this program if they wish to complete the Diploma in Engineering Practice.
There is a strong interrelation between the progress of engineering and developments in science and a demonstrated need for professionals with a strong understanding and experience in both areas.
Students also have the option of undertaking honours in science.
Course aims
The course aims to develop in students valuable skills highly prized by employers, including the technological expertise to understand scientific problems and the design skills to implement solutions.
Career options
Career options depend on the majors and subjects chosen. Options include research, design and development, and scientific management. Graduates work in industry or government, in areas such as biotechnology, communications, energy and resource exploration, environmental protection, medical technology, molecular biology and materials technology, nanotechnology and transportation.
Admission requirements
Entry to individual engineering majors is subject to UAI requirements.
Assumed knowledge
Mathematics Extension 1; Physics; and English Standard.
English Advanced is recommended.
Course duration and attendance
The course duration is six years full time, 12 years part time, or seven years full time with honours.
Full-time attendance involves up to 24 hours each week at the University. Part-time attendance involves up to 12 hours each week at the University. It is expected that employers will release part-time students for at least one half-day per week for attendance at classes.
Course structure
The program comprises a total of 252 credit points, made up of 174 credit points relating to the Bachelor of Engineering Diploma in Engineering Practice and 78 credit points relating to the Bachelor of Science.
The Engineering component of this course is made up of subjects selected from the engineering core, the Engineering Practice Program and the engineering fields of practice (majors).
The Science component represents a specific science major.
Industrial training/professional practice
As well as the Diploma in Engineering Practice, a Diploma in Scientific Practice is also available. The Diploma in Engineering Practice requires the completion of two six-month internships and the Engineering Practice Program. The Diploma in Scientific Practice (C20038), a period of industrial training, is available with an additional year of full-time study. It is not offered to international students.
