K94 Bachelor of Engineering Science

The Bachelor of Engineering Science is a three year full-time (or equivalent part-time) course providing a high-quality and broad-based coverage of multi-disciplinary engineering. In the modern engineering environment, large-scale engineering projects are increasingly likely to be of a highly multi-disciplinary nature, requiring engineers from diverse backgrounds to be able to work effectively as a team to deliver the outcomes. In such environments, a broader understanding of engineering, beyond one specific area of specialisation, is highly desirable and advantageous. Developing such breadth in four-year engineering courses is a challenge as it compromises the level of specialist knowledge that is also required from a graduate engineer. This three year programme, followed by specialisation in the ECU’s Master of Engineering course, affords the opportunity to develop this strong multi-disciplinary knowledge base.


This course comprises the first part of a pathway to becoming a professional engineer. Graduates of this course will have guaranteed entry into the two year Master of Engineering degree at ECU, where they will choose their area of specialisation from Civil, Mechanical, Electrical Power, Electronics and Communications, Computer Systems, Instrumentation Control and Automation, or Mechatronics Engineering. Graduate Engineer status is achieved at the completion of the Master of Engineering course, which has been accredited by Engineers Australia. This educational programme follows the 3+2 model of engineering education which has been widely adopted in Europe. Graduates of ECU’s 3+2 engineering programme will have an edge in their engineering careers due to greater depth and breadth in their education compared to standard four year engineering courses.
