E3001 Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)

The course develops through four themes that combine to underpin engineering practice: fundamentals and foundational skills, design, knowledge and applications, and professional practice.

Part A. Engineering fundamentals and foundational skills

These will develop your understanding of natural and physical sciences, mathematics, numerical analysis, statistics, and computer and information sciences that underpin all engineering disciplines.

Part B. Engineering design

This will develop the engineering techniques, tools and resources for the conduct, design and management of engineering design processes and projects, both in the industrial setting and in the development of research experiments.

Part C. Engineering knowledge and application

This will provide in-depth knowledge of the specific engineering methods of a branch of engineering, and will integrate the specific engineering methods and discipline knowledge into practice. You will develop skills to identify and apply knowledge of contextual factors impacting the engineering discipline. Additionally, your studies will focus on your understanding and application of the scope, principles, norms, accountabilities and bounds of contemporary engineering practice in your discipline.

Part D. Professional practice

This will develop your skills in readiness for the engineering workplace. You will develop skills in effective team membership and team leadership, the use and management of commercially relevant data, and the legal responsibilities of engineers. This study will integrate the theme 'Engineering knowledge and application' with your specialist field of engineering.

Part E. Elective study

This will enable you to further deepen your knowledge of engineering or broaden your knowledge in another approved field. If you are completing a single degree course, you may use electives to add technical expertise in your engineering specialisation and/or complete one of the engineering-approved minors from another faculty thereby adding other skills to your repertoire. If you wish to take more than two units outside the faculty and you are not using the additional units to complete one of the approved minors, you must consult with and gain permission from your course advisor before doing so.

If you are studying your degree in the Malaysia campus, you must choose technical engineering units to fulfil the elective requirements of your engineering degree in order to meet the local accreditation requirements.

The Master's accelerated pathway is an excellent way for you to fast-track your completion of the Master of Engineering. To do so, you select up to two level 5 units from E6014 Master of Engineering in the final year of your Bachelor's study. Note that the Master's accelerated pathway is available only at the Clayton campus.

Course progression map

The course progression map provides guidance on unit enrolment for each semester of study.

This course comprises 192 points, of which 144 points are from core engineering study and 48 points are available for elective study. A minimum of 72 points must be completed in engineering studies at level 3 and above.

The course develops through theme studies: Part A. Engineering fundamentals and foundational skills, Part B. Engineering design, Part C. Engineering application and knowledge, Part D. Professional practice and Part E. Elective study.

Elective units may be at any level, however, no more than 10 units (60 points) are to be completed at level 1 in the engineering course.

Units are 6 credit points unless otherwise stated.

Common first year (48 points)
