Overview

This program is a comprehensive preparation for careers in the professional practice of engineering. Students learn to deal with complex systems and manage large-scale projects using the most appropriate emerging technologies.

The course offers an authentic, professionally focused and practice-based education program with two sessions of internship (normally paid) in a real workplace setting. A number of the areas of study are available with explicit specialisations. For example, Civil Engineering is available with specialisations in Structures and Construction. Students can also focus on or broaden their studies by completing electives. By appropriate choice of electives, students can gain knowledge in a second engineering discipline, obtain a sub-major in a different field or study postgraduate-level subjects and apply for credit towards an engineering master's degree. The concept has been strongly endorsed in wide-ranging industry consultations. Interaction between work experience and academic curriculum is very strong, giving the program a depth that no other full-time academic course can match.

Course aims

The course aims to equip graduates with the skills and attributes needed for professional practice and leadership. It is based on the themes of academic development, personal development and professional formation. It provides sound foundations in engineering theory, technical expertise and knowledge of professional practice, while also developing academic literacy, advocacy skills and social awareness so that graduates become lifelong learners and effective citizens in many different capacities.

Career options

Career options depend on the major chosen.

Course intended learning outcomes

A.1 Historically and Culturally Informed about Indigenous Knowledge Systems: FEIT graduates are culturally and historically well informed, able to co-design projects as respectful professionals when working in and with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
B.1 Socially Responsible: Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Diploma in Professional Engineering Practice graduates identify, engage, interpret and analyse stakeholder needs and cultural perspectives, establish priorities and goals, and identify constraints, uncertainties and risks (social, ethical, cultural, legislative, environmental, economics etc.) to define the system requirements.
C.1 Design Oriented: Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Diploma in Professional Engineering Practice graduates apply research, problem solving, design and decision-making methodologies to develop components, systems and processes to meet specified requirements.
D.1 Technically Proficient: Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Diploma in Professional Engineering Practice graduates apply abstraction, mathematics and discipline fundamentals, software, tools and techniques to evaluate, implement and operate systems.
E.1 Collaborative and Communicative: Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Diploma in Professional Engineering Practice graduates work as an effective member or leader of diverse teams, communicating effectively and operating within cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural contexts in the workplace.
F.1 Reflective: Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Diploma in Professional Engineering Practice graduates critically self-review their performance to improve themselves, their teams and workplace. They take responsibility and accountability for their own life long learning.

Admission requirements

Applicants must have completed an Australian Year 12 qualification, Australian Qualifications Framework Diploma, or equivalent Australian or overseas qualification at the required level.

Current school leavers are advised to complete the Year 12 Engineering and IT Questionnaire. The questionnaire allows applicants to demonstrate their strong motivation to study engineering or IT at UTS and may assist applicants whose ATAR falls short of the required cut-off by up to three points.

Non-current school leavers are advised to complete the employment question on their UAC application and provide supporting statements of employment to UAC, as adjustment factors may be applied on the basis of relevant work experience.

The English proficiency requirement for international students or local applicants with international qualifications is: Academic IELTS: 6.5 overall with a writing score of 6.0; or TOEFL: paper based: 550-583 overall with TWE of 4.5, internet based: 79-93 overall with a writing score of 21; or AE5: Pass; or PTE: 58-64; or CAE: 176-184.

Eligibility for admission does not guarantee offer of a place.

Local students

Entry to individual engineering majors is subject to ATAR requirements.

International students

Applicants who successfully complete a recognised pathway program are eligible to apply.

Visa requirement: To obtain a student visa to study in Australia, international students must enrol full time and on campus. Australian student visa regulations also require international students studying on student visas to complete the course within the standard full-time duration. Students can extend their courses only in exceptional circumstances.

Pathway course

Applicants who complete the UTS Insearch Diploma of Engineering with:

  • no more than two subject failures (international applicants); or
  • the required minimum grade point average (domestic applicants)

are guaranteed admission to the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Diploma in Professional Engineering Practice with up to 48 credit points of recognition of prior learning (depending on the major selected).

Assumed knowledge

HSC Mathematics Extension 1; Physics; and English (Standard).

English (Advanced) is recommended. For the biomedical, civil, and civil and environmental engineering majors, Chemistry is recommended. For the software engineering major, a sound knowledge of the fundamentals of programming is recommended.

Recognition of prior learning

Students who have previously undertaken relevant study at a recognised tertiary education institution may be eligible for recognition of prior learning (RPL) if the subjects completed are deemed by the faculty to be equivalent to subjects in the course. Study completed more than 10 years prior to the date of admission cannot be recognised. Limits apply to the number of credit points of RPL granted.

Course duration and attendance

Full-time students normally complete the program in five years, which includes four years of study plus two periods of engineering internship in the workplace totalling at least 48 weeks. The internship is typically taken in the third or fourth session and again in the seventh or eighth session.

It is possible to complete the program entirely on a part-time basis, with continuous concurrent employment, by enrolling at half the full-time rate; however, this is not recommended. Students wishing to make extensive use of part-time attendance are strongly encouraged to negotiate with their employers for at least two full-time sessions of study somewhere through the program.

Course structure

Students are required to complete 240 credit points, comprising:

  • core program: 48 credit points
  • major (field of practice), including capstone: 120 credit points
  • professional engineering practice program: 48 credit points, plus 48 weeks of approved internship
  • electives (within this component students may undertake a faculty-approved sub-major totalling 24 credit points): 24 credit points. Students in the Civil Engineering major, Structures stream are recommended to complete 12 credit points of electives from approved postgraduate structural engineering subjects. Students in the Civil and Environmental Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, and Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering majors are required to select the specialist stream in their major in place of the electives.

The major is selected at the time of application to the course; however, it is possible to apply to change major at a later date. Students admitted to the flexible major should decide by the end of the first year of full-time study whether to transfer to a designated major or continue with the flexible program.

The Diploma in Professional Engineering Practice is not offered as a standalone qualification.

Industrial training/professional practice

The Diploma in Professional Engineering Practice requires the completion of two six-month internships and the Professional Engineering Practice Program. Completing 12 months of relevant engineering experience before graduating enables students to link learning in the workplace and learning at university, with each experience enhancing the other.
