Programme Aims
  • The Bachelor of Engineering provides students with the knowledge and skills that are necessary to commence practice as a professional engineer and to undertake further advanced level studies in engineering.

  • Specifically the programme provides students with a core of basic generic and technical skills, common to all branches of engineering, and then permits students to undertake an in depth study of either electrical and electronic, mechanical or mechatronic engineering.

  • In addition, students are equipped with knowledge of the industrial and social environments in which they will function as professional engineers

  • The programme also seeks to instill in students a capacity to communicate effectively and adapt to change.

  • The Bachelor of Engineering is primarily vocationally oriented.

  • However, the programme has been designed to identify students who have the capacity to undertake further study at an advanced level and to make an original contribution to engineering knowledge.

  • For these students, an honors programme of study is provided to assist them in achieving these goals.

 

Programme Objectives
  • To enable students to acquire, and demonstrate that they possess, the specified generic attributes and capabilities;

  • To enable students to acquire in-depth technical competence in one of the following fields: Electrical and Electronic Engineering; Mechanical Engineering or Mechatronic Engineering

  • To enable students from diverse and non-traditional backgrounds and locations to enroll in the programme and to provide them with opportunities to acquire the skills necessary to complete the programme in the normal time;

  • To enable students to be empowered as learners through the provision of a wide range of teaching and learning styles and modes in their programme;

  • To ensure that all students, regardless of the mode of study, have equality of opportunity in acquiring the specified generic attributes and technical competence; and

  • To ensure that graduates are eligible for graduate membership of Engineers Australia, and other appropriate professional bodies.
