Practical experience

To be eligible to graduate from the Bachelor of Engineering Science, students must obtain an aggregate of at least 45 days of suitable work experience during their program. This experience may be in an engineering office or laboratory where the student would be working principally with professional engineers and engineering associates. It may, however, be preferable for students to spend some time in field or factory activities to gain insight into industrial practice and to see what is involved in converting designs into finished products. Students are required to enrol in ENG3909 Work Experience - Technologist in the latter part of their program and keep a record of appropriate experience as specified in the Course Specification. The work experience is to be endorsed by an appropriate person in the organisation providing the experience and submitted to the examiner. The student must meet all costs associated with the acquisition of work experience to satisfy this requirement. The record of work experience must be made available for perusal by the Faculty of Health, Engineering and Sciences upon request. The acceptability or otherwise of employment experience, and the period of that type of experience that may be credited towards the 45 days, will be determined by the Examiner of ENG3909 Work Experience - Technologist.

Credit or exemptions for ENG3909 Work Experience - Technologist will not normally be considered.

  • Agricultural Engineering

  • Civil Engineering

  • Electrical and Electronic Engineering

  • Environmental Engineering

  • Mechanical Engineering


In addition, students enrolled in the Electrical and Electronic Engineering major may articulate into the following Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) majors:

  • Computer Systems Engineering

  • Power Engineering


The pathway to the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) has been specially developed for students who study part-time. Full-time students may seek approval to follow the Pathway to the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours), but it is not timetabled for on-campus students.

Students must have the approval of the Faculty of Health, Engineering and Sciences to undertake the Pathway to the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours). Students are strongly advised to consider and apply for approval for this Pathway as soon as possible in order to maximise the credit they will receive in the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours). This should be done prior to the commencement of the second year of studies if possible or after successful completion of at least eight (8) academic courses including ENM1600 Engineering Mathematics.

The Faculty will take into consideration a student's GPA before granting approval.

Once approval is granted, the Faculty will advise students of the courses they should study when granting approval for them to follow the Pathway to the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) .

The following tables list some of the changes to the courses in each major which should be observed to undertake a Pathway into the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours). Pathway students should seek advice from the Faculty of Health, Engineering and Sciences before selecting their approved courses.

Pathways to the Master of Engineering Practice

One Pathway to the MEPR Master of Engineering Practice program has been developed for graduates of the BENS program who gain five years of relevant industrial experience after receiving their BENS degree. This industrial experience should be in the BENS major and/or the major they wish to undertake in the program. Students who wish to follow this pathway into a different major in the MEPR from the major they studied in the BENS are not guaranteed articulation into the MEPR. All students should consult their relevant Major Convenor for advice before enrolling in their courses.

An alternative engineering Practice Pathway has been developed for students who intend to study the MEPR immediately after completing the Bachelor of Engineering Science program. The BENS engineering practice pathway is designed to enable experienced engineering Associates to draw on their industrial experience to demonstrate their achievement of the required generic and technical capabilities to Engineers Australia Stage 2 Experienced Technologist Competency attributes. BENS graduates who have completed this engineering practice pathway may be considered for entry into the MEPR program after receiving formal Engineers Australia Technologist accreditation using their Bachelor of Engineering Science (BENS) practice pathway e-Portfolio.

The engineering practice pathway is an option for students who hold an ADNG Associate Degree of Engineering or close equivalent and have five years of relevant industry experience at the time they enter the Bachelor of Engineering Science program. The pathway requires students to complete the approved course ENG3300 Industry Experience Evaluation Portfolio. Students who have the appropriate industrial experience, and are eligible for 10 or more exemptions upon entry into the Bachelor of Engineering Science (BENS) program may undertake this pathway. The ENG3300 Industry Experience Evaluation Portfolio will enable students to assess their existing workplace integrated learning skills, attributes and capabilities, and complete a technologist workplace e-portfolio to demonstrate their level of competency achievements.

Prospective Engineering Practice Pathway students should visit the Engineers Australia web site to gain an understanding of the processes which will be followed. In particular, they should view the Engineering Technologist Stage Two Competencies and the guidelines for achieving Chartered Technologist status.
