This combined degree is the same as the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) Bachelor of Science (C09072), except for the additional requirement of two internships and completion of the professional engineering practice program. Students can transfer to this program if they wish to complete the Diploma in Professional Engineering Practice.

There is a strong interrelation between the progress of engineering and developments in science and a demonstrated need for professionals with a strong understanding and experience in both areas.

Students also have the option of undertaking honours in science.
