Build a thorough understanding of engineering fundamentals in your first year. Deepen your knowledge and focus on theoretical and practical learning. You will study a specialised major plus four elective subjects or a major with one minor.

 

Gain hands-on skills through laboratory classes and field trips. Participate in twelve weeks of work placements with industry partners – you may have the opportunity for paid work experience.

 

With opportunities in the Digital and Data spheres, you can align your studies to part-time work, that may translate into a full-time job offer upon graduation. Explore the APS Data and Digital Programs page for more information.

 

Studies culminate in the fourth year with an Honours component — a major engineering project and thesis. You will research a current industry issue and work towards designing a solution.

 

JCU’s Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) is accredited by Engineers Australia. The Electrical and Electronic Engineering major on the Cairns campus holds provisional accreditation status, until the first cohort graduates from it, at which time JCU is able to apply for full accreditation.
