The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)/Bachelor of Science combines technical expertise in an engineering field of your choice with skills and knowledge required to work in a range of professional scientific environments.

Complete core units in your first year to assist in selecting majors in engineering and science. Obtain theoretical and practical engineering knowledge by participating in workshops and industry projects to prepare for roles in your chosen field across a range of industries.

Build up your CV with real industry experience while you study through our Work Integrated Learning programs, which are a guaranteed part of all our bachelor degrees and can include placements, internships or industry-linked projects. In this double degree, you'll apply your learning in eleven project units (one per semester for engineering and one per year for science) in professionally focused, industry-linked projects.

Course learning outcomes

Students who successfully complete the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) will be able to: 

• apply coherent and advanced knowledge of the chosen major in engineering in diverse contexts and applications using critical thinking and judgement
• apply knowledge of research principles and methods to plan and execute a piece of research with some independence, as preparation for research higher degrees
• apply problem solving, design and decision-making methodologies to identify and provide innovative solutions to complex problems with intellectual independence
• apply abstraction, mathematics and engineering fundamentals to the analysis, design and operation of a model, using appropriate engineering methods and tools
• communicate proficiently in professional practice to a variety of audiences, function as an effective member or leader of a diverse team, and use the basic tools and practices of project management within project work
• demonstrate professionalism, integrity, ethical conduct, professional accountability and an awareness of professional engineering practice in a global and sustainable context
• reflect on and take responsibility for their own learning and self-management processes, and manage their own time and processes effectively by regularly reviewing of personal performance as a means of managing continuing professional development and lifelong learning.

Students who successfully complete the Bachelor of Science will be able to:

• articulate the methods of science, explain why current scientific knowledge is both contestable and testable by further inquiry and explain the role and relevance of science in society
• exhibit depth and breadth of scientific knowledge by demonstrating well-developed knowledge in at least one science disciplinary area
• critically analyse and solve scientific problems by evaluating information from a range of sources, designing and planning an investigation, selecting and applying practical and theoretical techniques for that investigation and collecting, recording, interpreting and drawing conclusions from scientific data
• effectively communicate science by presenting information or arguments, to a range of audiences, for a range of purposes using a variety of modes
• adopt ownership of their own learning and scientific work by being independent and self-directed learners, working effectively and safely in an individual or team context, demonstrating knowledge of the regulatory framework relevant to the disciplinary area and practising ethical conduct.
