Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Scholar)

Engineering is vital to solving the world’s big challenges. Engineers are needed to support communities by designing and building livable sustainable cities, they create transport and housing systems, they design and build telecommunications network, the internet and computers. Engineers design systems to ensure ample clean water for the world’s population, to find non-polluting energy sources, to create ways to assist healthy living and ageing and to advance medical and health technologies.

Engineers are team players, and many become CEOs and entrepreneurs; engineering graduates run over 30% of the world’s biggest international companies, nearly double the next largest discipline.

You will learn the fundamentals of engineering, both the technical and interpersonal skills, and apply your knowledge in real situations to prepare you for engineering the future. You will study a common first year allowing you to learn more about engineering and its different fields before deciding which discipline to study. The common first year provides you with sound fundamentals in mathematics, statistics, physics, chemistry, computing, engineering science and communication, mechanics and materials. You then focus on your chosen major study from second year. Your degree includes a 12-week hands-on industry placement. You may gain credit for relevant work experience, either in Australia or overseas, by participating in our Professional Options Program.

Our engineering students are trained through practical learning experiences including: Laboratory experiments, problem-based learning, computer simulations, teamwork assignments, industrial case studies, project management and site visits to industry. Our Engineering courses are designed to meet the needs of modern engineering and the innovative focus of industry.

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Scholar) is a program for high achieving students, designed to provide an enriched  educational experience, and to encourage you to continue on to further studies and research. Benefits of this program include the opportunity to apply for the  Summer Scholarship program where you are employed as a paid research assistant, access to a wider range of subjects, and an annual study grant. You will need to maintain a weighted average mark of 80 throughout this program.
