Y16 Bachelor of Engineering Bachelor of Science

This double degree program provides students with the opportunity to become qualified engineers with a strong background in a complementary branch of 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 unit overloads will be required in some semesters.

 

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.

 

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

The engineering component of this double degree is accredited by Engineers Australia alongside the associated single degree courses.

 
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Standard University admission requirements apply.

 
SPECIAL ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS

Satisfactory performance in WACE Mathematics 3C/3D or Mathematics: Specialist 3C/3D, or equivalent.
WACE Physics 3A/3B, or equivalent is desirable.
Students who have completed a TAFE Diploma or its equivalent in an allied engineering field may be admitted to this course with advanced standing.

 

Note: Students who have not passed WACE Physics 3A/3B or equivalent will be required to complete a bridging unit during the first year of their studies.

Students who have not completed Mathematics: Specialist 3C/3D are strongly encouraged to attend the 5-day Mathematics Bridging Programme offered in the week before the start of each semester.
