Bachelor
This course is a technology degree which allows students to develop broad based engineering skills similar in nature to the Bachelor of Engineering Science (C10066) degree but without full engineering technologist status.
The course provides students with the skills required at an engineering technologist level - and hence the ability to work with professional engineers - without developing full professional engineering competencies.
It is intended for students who require a broad overview of STEM knowledge via the "Flexible Engineering" or "Engineering and Technology Studies" majors; and to specialise in a field of technology, for example, students with prior vocational qualifications may choose the Advanced Manufacturing major to learn the latest industry 4.0 manufacturing technologies, without meeting the requirement for Engineering Australia professional accreditation.
Career options include para-professional positions in engineering teams across the full spectrum of engineering activities. Specific career options depend on the major chosen.
Students are required to complete 144 credit points, comprising:
Students admitted to Advanced Manufacturing major must select the choiceblock Core subjects (Advanced Manufacturing). Students in the Flexible Engineering major and Engineering and Technology Studies major must select the choiceblock Core subjects.
The major is selected at the time of admission; however, it is possible to apply to change major at a later stage. Students admitted to the advanced manufacturing major should decide by the end of the first year of full-time study whether to transfer to another major or continue with the advanced manufacturing program.
