About

Engineers in the 21st century must integrate social, environmental and economic demands with technical possibilities for each new challenge.

Therefore, you must be an effective problem identifier, skilled in quantitative analysis, and effective decision maker who can maximise the benefits of each project while satisfying all stakeholders.

You will work in teams and rely on communication processes to achieve your work.

You will work in a rapidly changing world where learning is a key ingredient of your work.

Globalisation is an important part of that world.

An understanding of and appreciation for other cultures is an essential part of the social dimension of engineering.

Most importantly, engineers have a responsibility to themselves to maintain their own quality of life through their career and their relationships within the profession and in the wide community.The engineering component of the program enables you to:develop an understanding of Chemical Engineering principles and apply them to design sustainable processes and products for the benefit of society, environment, and businesses engage with the processes of innovation and global change and deal with new challenges develop sustaining values, including a commitment to your own learningYou will undertake a capstone experience in the final year courses OENG1167 - Engineering Capstone Project Part A and OENG1168 - Engineering Capstone Project Part B.The learning environments in the program will focus on:knowledge:

contemporary content, clear goals, deep learning focus global issues:

adequate preparation, interactive engagement, adaptation to individual learning styles assessment:

specific standards, range of assessments, progressive feedback community:

application and transfer focused, cross-disciplinary, problem-solving, vocationally recognised, socially inclusive orientation, internationally relevant.This program will actively explore and apply theory through problem-based and work-relevant activities which may include face-to-face, online, self-directed, collaborative and individual learning experience and is delivered on-campus.The program has embedded opportunities for you to develop, practise and expand engineering and business knowledge and skills through practical and work-integrated learning.

You will gain knowledge and skills in the core areas of chemical engineering, business & management, and the capability to apply these skills in multidisciplinary environments.The Bachelor of Business (Management) provides you with critical and broad ranging studies to enable you to enter graduate positions in administration and management.

The program provides you with opportunities to develop the required knowledge and outcomes to operate successfully in contemporary environments.

You will be able to apply the knowledge and skills gained in the core areas of management in a diverse range of political, social, environmental and economic contexts.This program will actively explore and apply management theory through problem-based and work-relevant activities which may include face-to-face, online, self-directed, collaborative and individual learning experience and is delivered on-campus.The capstone experience course BUSM4546 Management in Practice provides the culmination of the knowledge, skills and applied work practice experiences that prepare you to transit into the business world.On successful completion of the program, you will be able to work within a wide range of organisations and industries in varied roles, and career entry positions, such as business administration, management consulting and strategy analysis.

The program will provide you with a basis for further development of your knowledge and skills in management, and for further study in business and management.
