Bachelor (Honours)
The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)(Major) and Masters of Engineering Project Management aims to produce an engineer skilled in both high-level engineering designs and managing engineering projects including project planning, stakeholder management, risk management, strategy, resource management, project control, procurement management, and execution.
This course has a strong focus on learning in context so you will apply theory to authentic scenarios throughout your course. In your first year, you will develop skills in problem solving, teamwork and engineering professional practice together with learning foundational technical content. In Term 2 of your first year, you will undertake an authentic industry-based project with work-integrated learning. In the second year, you will gain in-depth discipline-specific technical knowledge and skills through your choice of major. In the third and fourth years of your course, you will develop a deeper understanding of the foundation knowledge that you gained in the first and second year. During your fourth and fifth year, you will complete a number of engineering project units, and choose project management units and will apply that knowledge to real-life projects.
You will confirm your ability to work as a professional engineer by completing a major individual engineering project, sometimes with an industry mentor, and a project management research project during the fifth year of the course.

Civil engineers are typically involved in planning, design and maintenance of physical infrastructure systems including the construction of buildings and bridges, transport and water resource systems, sewage and industrial waste systems, harbours and railways.
Civil and Humanitarian engineers typically specialise in planning, design and maintenance of critical infrastructure to improve the disaster resilience of communities using available technologies.
Mechanical engineers are typically involved in planning, design, installation, maintenance and operation of machines, thermodynamic and combustion systems, fluid systems, materials handling systems, manufacturing equipment and processing plants.
Electrical engineers typically specialise in systems design, development and maintenance of systems associated with electrical power and energy including electricity generation and distribution, telecommunications, instrumentation and control, microprocessors and electronics.
Mechatronics engineers typically specialise in the design and development of autonomous systems to improve productivity of various application areas such as health and medical, agriculture, manufacturing and transport.
Resource Systems engineers typically specialise in applying contemporary technologies to increase productivity, sustainability and safety of resource industry (mining and mineral processing) operations.
