K56 Bachelor of Engineering Bachelor of Science

This program provides students with the opportunity to become qualified engineers with a strong background in a complementary branch of security, aviation, computer, natural, or applied science. There is a growing demand in high-technology industries and research centres for engineers with multidisciplinary skills in technology, management, and relevant sciences.  While providing a major area of study in any one of the Civil, Mechanical, Mechatronics, Instrumentation Control and Automation, Computer Systems, Electronics & Communications, or Electrical Power Engineering areas, this double degree program broadens the overall knowledge of students in areas which are complementary to their technical skills.  The program offers students a high level of flexibility as students are able to choose from a number of engineering and science specialist areas to select a combination that best suits their personal career aspirations. This double degree course requires five years of full-time (or equivalent part-time) study. Students should note that, in order to complete the course within the standard five year duration, a one unit overload will be required in each year other than the final year.

 

HONOURS IN ENGINEERING

Students whose performance over the five years of the course is of a high standard may be awarded the Bachelor of Engineering with Honours degree.

 

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

Overseas students may be admitted to the double degree course.

 

The language of instruction is English and all students are expected to be proficient in both spoken and written English.  All assessment will be conducted in the English language.

 

PRACTICUM REQUIREMENTS

During the course, students will be required to undertake a minimum of 12 weeks practical work experience located in an engineering industry environment. This will normally be undertaken during a vacation period, even though it is listed as a unit for Year 5 (ENS4111).

 

ACCREDITATION

Engineers Australia has granted Accreditation to this course. Parallel Accreditation status has been granted for associated double degrees.

 
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Satisfactory performance in WACE Mathematics 3C/3D or Mathematics: Specialist 3A/3B or 3C/3D, or equivalent.
