This course has two intakes - Start year (Autumn) and Mid year (Spring). Students will need to check the entry relevant to their intake

The Bachelor of Engineering course is a four year course. It has a common first year program for all engineering disciplines and it also shares two units with the Bachelor of Industrial Design and three units with the Bachelor of Construction Management, exposing students to a wide range of experiences in the first year. Students have the opportunity to focus on an area of speciality by undertaking a key program in the disciplines of Civil, Computer, Construction, Electrical, Environmental, Mechanical, Robotics & Mechatronics, and Telecommunications. Sub-majors can be chosen from a range that will compliment their specialist discipline. Students also have an opportunity to broaden their experience by choosing sub-majors from other disciplines or alternately outside the School. An honours stream is offered, based on meritorious performance over the first three years of the course.

Study Mode
Four years of full-time study or part-time equivalent.

Accreditation
The course has been designed to meet the requirements of Engineers Australia. Key Programs, Civil, Computer, Electrical, Environmental, Robotics & Mechatronic, Mechanical and Telecommunications, have received full accreditation from Engineers Australia at the level of Professional Engineer. Provisional accreditation for the Construction Engineering Key Program was granted in 2011.
