This course is in teach-out and is not accepting new admissions.

It has been replaced by P4D Bachelor of Engineering (Specialisation) with Honours, please visit that page for the latest information.Engineering is one of the most sought-after degrees by employers world-wide because engineers solve problems in almost every facet of our lives.They do this by balancing creative design, analysis and applied science, and are involved in making key decisions within almost every industry on earth, including the construction of buildings, roads and major infrastructure projects, alternative energy system development, electronics and transport, biomedical implants and much more!Engineers play a major role in improving living standards and the quality of life in our community, and in the protection of the environment.If you are interested in the design, building and management of structures, machines, manufacturing processes and infrastructure, this is the degree for you.

Please note that as part of the University’s new curriculum model, Degrees of Difference, the Bachelor of Engineering with Honours is being revamped for 2018. Further details will be available in the 2018 Course and Unit Handbook from 1 August 2017.

In this degree, all students share a common first three semesters before choosing a specialisation. During this time, you’ll study a breadth of subjects covering three core engineering topics, civil, electrical and mechanical engineering. This gives you get a broad and multidisciplinary understanding of engineering theory before you select the specialisation you prefer and wish to focus on for the remainder of your degree.

An Engineering specialisation is completed through theory and major laboratory work, projects, and culminates with your honours year.

Industry Experience

You are also required to complete 12 weeks of industrial experience, typically undertaken in summer between 3rd and 4th year. Where possible, the work experience placements are arranged through the School of Engineering and ICT, and many businesses also pay students during this time at the appropriate award rate (Note: this is an individual arrangement and not guaranteed).

Integrated Honours

In 4th year you’ll undertake a substantial high-level, two-semester project within your engineering specialisation. This involves an analysis of requirements, feasibility study, and design and development, usually resulting in a prototype.

The first year of all specialisations can be studied at the Launceston campus, however students will need to move to Hobart to continue their studies in second year onwards.

If you're interested in studying the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours), you'll need to meet the general entrance requirements of the University and the following course-specific requirements.
