C10066v5 Bachelor of Engineering Science

Overview

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.

Credit recognition

Students who have previously undertaken study at a university or other recognised tertiary education institution may be eligible for some academic credit recognition for their prior study if the subjects previously completed are deemed by the faculty to be equivalent to subjects in the course.

The prior study must have been completed before commencement of this course, but no earlier than 10 years before commencement. Students must be able to demonstrate that their knowledge is current.

Course duration and attendance

The 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 (including the Project BEngSc): 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 as approved by the director of UTS: Engineering Undergraduate Programs.

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 a suggested sequence for students undertaking the course full time. The subjects taken in any one semester are determined by what is on offer and any subject requisites.
