Overview


Engineering

Introduction

Engineering is a challenging and exciting field where you learn how things work, and develop new, innovative technology to improve life quality and meet the needs of our modern world.

The Bachelor of Engineering with Honours offers professional, practical study in a variety of engineering industries.

There are also several Engineering Conjoint degrees available which combines the BE(Hons) degree with other bachelor's degrees, so you can complete unique combinations with other study areas.

Courses

UC offers a Bachelor of Engineering with Honours .

There are also several Engineering Conjoint degrees available which combines the BE(Hons) degree with other bachelor's degrees.

You may also choose to study a Diploma in Global Humanitarian Engineering that you can complete alongside the bachelor's degree.

Bachelor of Engineering with Honours

See the Bachelor of Engineering with Honours for the compulsory courses in the degree.

After the first year, you will specialise in an Engineering discipline for the following three years of the degree:

These three years will focus your learning on knowledge and skills that are relevant to your chosen Engineering discipline through a combination of lectures, laboratory work, and field classes. In the third and fourth years, you will have the option of choosing courses which concentrate on a particular field (or fields) within your chosen Engineering discipline.

Engineering minors

Some of the engineering disciplines have a minor subject available that you can also choose to complete:

Practical work

Before graduating with the Bachelor of Engineering with Honours you must complete 800 hours (approx. 100 days) of practical work in the engineering industry. This includes a compulsory zero-fees work placement course during the second year, and further practical work normally carried out during the summer breaks of the following years.

You are also required to carry out a workshop training course or a site safety course during the second year. These courses will vary depending on your Engineering discipline, and aim to prepare you in the use of common tools and equipment that you are likely to need for your practical work in industry.

You must also hold a University-approved first aid certificate while enrolled in the Bachelor of Engineering with Honours.

Diploma in Global Humanitarian Engineering

A Diploma in Global Humanitarian Engineering can be studied alongside any of the Engineering disciplines, giving you an extra qualification and a point of difference without adding any time to your studies. This will give your Engineering studies a humanitarian focus, working on issues such as water shortage, power supply, and climate change.
