Bachelor of Engineering Science

Charles Darwin University

About

The Bachelor of Engineering Science will provide you with the necessary scientific knowledge that underpins your engineering discipline, followed by a specialist knowledge of the theory and practice of civil and structural, electrical and electronics, and mechanical engineering.

The course will help you to develop skills for the planning and execution of engineering projects.

The course specifically offers extensive hands-on practical experience, which will help you in your future career as an engineering technologist.

Essential engineering skills including innovation, creativity, management and teamwork are also features of the course.

This course was developed in consultation with and is supported by industry leaders.

You graduate with a sound foundation of engineering knowledge which directly aligns with international industry requirements.

You can combine this course with the two-year Master of Engineering as an accredited pathway towards becoming a professional engineer.

This pathway is similar to engineering programs offered in Europe and is an alternative to the traditional four-year Bachelor of Engineering Honours course.

As a civil and structural engineering technologist, you will be able to work with other engineers and technologists on the design and maintenance of structures for the modern world.

Key areas include water resources, roads and traffic, bridges and marine structures.

Your studies will focus on developing sustainable and ethical civil and structural solutions in areas such as structural engineering, water and its uses and the principles of sustainability.

As an engineering technologist in the electrical and electronics industry, you will be able to work together with engineers and technologists on the design, automation and control of the devices which make modern life convenient.

You are involved in electronics, telecommunications, biomedical applications and power generation and distribution, including renewable energy.

As a mechanical engineering technologist, you will be able to collaborate with other engineers and technologists in the design and build of large and small devices which improve transportation and provide affordable manufacturing and production solutions.

Key areas include mechatronics, robotics, biomechanical applications, aeroplanes, cars, pumps and pipelines.
