Bachelor of Engineering Systems (Honours)


Course Details

The Bachelor of Engineering Systems (Honours) is designed to meet the requirements for accreditation at the level of Professional Engineer by Engineers Australia. The course is structured around 16 key competencies identified by Engineers Australia as being essential to the graduating engineer, which are broadly grouped into knowledge and skills, application, personal and professional skills. Foundational core units build knowledge of the basic sciences, practical skills and the processes and philosophy that underpin the engineering profession. Youll then choose a specialisation to build discipline knowledge and technical skills with a strong emphasis on project-based learning. This will determine your career outcomes as you develop expertise in an area of engineering practice - either civil or mechanical engineering. The final year of the course contains a mixture of advanced core units and advanced discipline-specific units that are designed to build skills in independent investigation, critical thinking, creative problem solving, and ethical and professional behaviour. You'll also complete a total of 60 days of professional placement in industry during your studies, ensuring you are ready to hit the ground running as a graduate.
