Overview
This course has had one or more changes made to it since publication on 1 October 2020. For details of changes, please consult the 2021 Change register.
In an age of increasing technological advancements, the synergy between engineering and information technology will only become stronger. IT underpins engineering practice in all disciplines and industry needs graduates with skills and expertise spanning both.
In this double degree course, you will acquire creative and problem-solving skills to use IT in engineering applications. This could be anything from designing a stunning visualisation of engineering data to building an app for data collection to setting up the business IT processes to deliver an engineering product via the internet.
Depending on the chosen IT major, you could:
- use your technical skills from software development to create controllers, simulations and visualisations for anything from manufacturing to energy usage or medical devices
- apply your creative skills and design flair from multimedia to create a great app for controlling a 'smart house'
- use your practical understanding of business information systems to launch an online business in engineering services or products
- put your networks and security skills to work setting up the IT infrastructure and software needed for remote sensing or transportation monitoring.

The handbook's description of this structure
Double degree courses include the features of the component degree courses, except that electives may be reduced.
Engineering
E3001 Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) is a specialist course that 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 units 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
These units 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
These units 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
These units 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.
Information Technology
C2000 Bachelor of Information Technology is a comprehensive course, structured in three equal parts. In the double degree course you complete:
Part A. Information technology specified study
This will provide you with foundation skills and knowledge for your IT education and ensure a breadth of understanding of IT and its applications in organisations and society.
Part B. Information technology listed major
Only the computer networks and security major is available in this double degree.
