Note(s)

This course is only offered to new international students. Local students in an existing UTS course may be able to transfer into it.

Local students undertaking a single degree are advised to refer to the Bachelor of Engineering Diploma in Engineering Practice (C10061), which includes industry experience and provides a comprehensive preparation for a career in the engineering profession. Local students in some combined degrees (C10065, C10073, C10075, C10078) may be eligible to transfer into the Bachelor of Engineering on completion of their business or science degree.

Overview

This course is identical to the Bachelor of Engineering Diploma in Engineering Practice (C10061) except there is no Diploma in Engineering Practice requirement.

This program is a comprehensive preparation for careers in the professional practice of engineering. Students learn to deal with complex systems and manage large-scale projects using the most appropriate emerging technologies.

Career options

Career options depend on the major chosen.

Admission requirements

Applicants must have completed an Australian Year 12 qualification, Australian Qualifications Framework Diploma, or equivalent Australian or overseas qualification at the required level.

Students can extend their courses only in exceptional circumstances.

Assumed knowledge

Mathematics Extension 1; Physics; and English Standard.

English Advanced is recommended.

Credit recognition

Students who have previously undertaken study at a university or other recognised tertiary education institution may be eligible for some academic credit recognition for their prior study if the subjects previously completed are deemed by the faculty to be equivalent to subjects in the course.

The prior study must have been completed before commencement of this course, but no earlier than 10 years before commencement. Students must be able to demonstrate that their knowledge is current.

Course duration and attendance

The course is offered on a four-year, full-time basis.

Course structure

A total of 192 credit points is required for graduation, distributed in the following way:

• core program: 48 credit points
• choice of major: 120 credit points
• electives: 24 credit points.

From 2014, students commencing or transferring into the Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering major or the Civil and Environmental Engineering major are required to select one specialist stream in their area of study in place of the electives.

Industrial training/professional practice

Students graduating with a Bachelor of Engineering without the Diploma in Engineering Practice are required to obtain the equivalent of at least 12 weeks exposure to professional engineering practice, preferably outside the university environment. For further details, refer to 48100 Professional Practice.

Course completion requirements

Course program

Most of the subjects are offered in both Autumn and Spring semesters, sometimes as day classes and sometimes as evening classes. The programs provided below for each major show a suggested sequence for students commencing in Autumn semester undertaking the course full time. The program for students undertaking the Civil Engineering major beyond Year 1 depends on which specialisation is chosen.

Levels of award

The Bachelor of Engineering may be awarded with first or second class honours for meritorious performance in the course as a whole.

Professional recognition

The Bachelor of Engineering is accredited by Engineers Australia (under the Washington Accord the degree is internationally recognised by countries including the UK, Ireland, USA, Hong Kong China, Malaysia, Korea, Japan, New Zealand, Canada, Chinese Taipei, Russia, Singapore, South Africa and Turkey).
