Bachelor of Engineering

THIS COURSE IS FOR THOSE STUDENTS COMMENCING 2008 AND BEYOND.

The Bachelor of Engineering is a four-year full time program, which caters to students who wish to obtain an accredited engineering degree after four years of study (400 points, 100 points of credit earned each year).

To satisfy course requirements students must take the set of core engineering subjects prescribed for the branch of engineering being studied.

This program is for those students commencing in 2008 and beyond and offers enhanced flexibility and breadth opportunities and allows a common first year with Engineering Systems majors in the Bachelor of Science and to maintain alternative pathways between Engineering and Science (for example Electrical or Mechanical Engineering and Physics, and Software Engineering and Mathematics or Computer Science) for two full years, with final choice of discipline required only at the end of second year. Students commencing in 2008 and beyond will study 2 breadth subjects in first year followed by another one or two (depending upon the stream chosen) breadth subjects in second year.

Students commencing in the Bachelor of Engineering in 2008 and beyond will be expected to compile a reflective e-portfolio that is commenced in their first year of study as part of Engineering Systems Design 1. All engineering-related experiences, including those that arise during formal study, those that arise during optional vacation or term-time employment, those that arise during holidays or study abroad or exchange visits to other countries, those that arise via engagement in Knowledge Transfer or volunteer activities, and those that arise from discussions with fellow students, can be recorded and collated into a final form that will be inspected prior to the completion of their degree. This e-portfolio documents the attainment of professional competencies.

Students will use the Engineering Learning Centre which provides provides out-of-class study and meeting spaces for students.Students will be able to access on-line information such as the Learning Management System (LMS), study on their own and meet and collaborate with other students on project work and classwork, within a comfortable and supportive environment. pecialised learning spaces have been developed for students to participate in problem-based learning opportunities which commence in first year with Engineering Systems Design 1 and 2 subjects, a common set of subjects for all Bachelor of Engineering students.

Students studying engineering programs will have access to the Engineering Student Centre which provides coordinated, seamless, flexible, comprehensive and equitable student-centric administrative services to students. The Engineering Student Centre supports a sense of belonging and connectedness of students to the Engineering discipline. Service standards are monitored to ensure a consistent, high-quality service to our students. The range of services provided includes transactional services (e.g: graduation enquiries and course transactions), enrichment services (e.g: personal course advice, careers advice, language and learning skills programs and individual tutorials) and referrals to wellbeing services.
