Program aims

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) provides students with the knowledge and skills that are necessary to commence practice as a professional engineer and to undertake further advanced level studies in engineering. Specifically the program provides students with a core of basic generic and technical skills, common to all branches of engineering, and then permits students to undertake an in depth study of either agricultural, civil, computer systems, electrical and electronic, environmental, instrumentation and control, mechanical, mechatronic or power engineering. In addition, students are equipped with a knowledge of the industrial and social environments in which they will function as professional engineers. The program also seeks to instil in students a capacity to communicate effectively and adapt to change.

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) is primarily vocationally oriented. However, the program has been designed to identify students who have the capacity to undertake further study at an advanced level and to make an original contribution to engineering knowledge.
