About this course

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)(Major) and Masters of Project Management in Engineering aims to produce an engineer skilled in both high-level engineering designs and managing engineering projects including project planning, stakeholder management, risk management, strategy, resource management, project control, procurement management, and execution.

This course has a strong focus on learning in context so you will apply theory to authentic scenarios throughout your course. In your first year, you will develop skills in problem solving, teamwork and engineering professional practice together with learning foundational technical content. In Term 2 of your first year, you will undertake an authentic industry-based project with work-integrated learning. In the second year, you will gain in-depth discipline-specific technical knowledge and skills through your choice of major. In the third and fourth years of your course, you will develop a deeper understanding of the foundation knowledge that you gained in the first and second year. During your fourth and fifth year, you will complete a number of engineering project units, and choose project management units and will apply that knowledge to real-life projects.

You will confirm your ability to work as a professional engineer by completing a major individual engineering project, sometimes with an industry mentor, and a project management research project during the fifth year of the course.

Entry requirements

English (Units 3 & 4, C) or equivalent; General Mathematics (Units 3 & 4, C) or equivalent.

English Language Proficiency Requirements:

If you were not born in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Ireland, South Africa or the United States of America you are required to meet the English Language Proficiency requirements set by the University. Applicants are required to provide evidence of completion within the last 10 years of:

  • A secondary qualification (Year 11 and 12, or equivalent), or
  • A completed Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) Diploma level qualification, or
  • Bachelor level qualification study for a period of at least 2 years full-time with a minimum overall GPA 4.0 completed in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Ireland, South Africa or the United States of America, which will meet the English proficiency.

If you do not satisfy any of the above you will need to undertake an English language proficiency test and achieve the following scores:

  • An International English Language Testing System (IELTS Academic) overall band score of at least 6.0, with a minimum 6.0 in each subset; or
  • An Occupational English Test with Grades A or B only in each of the four components; or
  • Pearson Test of English Academic (PTE Academic) - Requires an overall score of 54 with no sub-score less than 54; or
  • Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL)- Requires overall score of 75 or better with no score less than 21 (Internet Based).

English test results remain valid for no more than two years between final examination date and the date of commencement of study, and must appear on a single result certificate.

Career pathways

As a professional engineer you can be a driver of change in society and be not only responsible for technological change, but also the impact it has on communities, society and the environment in general. Professional engineers work with people, they listen, then set about solving problems for people and communities. This course provides a unique opportunity to become an engineer with high-level engineering planning and design skills complemented by project management skills including project planning, stakeholder management, risk management, strategy, resource management, project control and execution as well as procurement management.

Civil engineers are typically involved in planning, design and maintenance of physical infrastructure systems including the construction of buildings and bridges, transport and water resource systems, sewage and industrial waste systems, harbours and railways.

Civil and Humanitarian engineers typically specialise in planning, design and maintenance of critical infrastructure to improve the disaster resilience of communities using available technologies.

Mechanical engineers are typically involved in planning, design, installation, maintenance and operation of machines, thermodynamic and combustion systems, fluid systems, materials handling systems, manufacturing equipment and processing plants.

Electrical engineers typically specialise in systems design, development and maintenance of systems associated with electrical power and energy including electricity generation and distribution, telecommunications, instrumentation and control, microprocessors and electronics.

Mechatronics engineers typically specialise in the design and development of autonomous systems to improve productivity of various application areas such as health and medical, agriculture, manufacturing and transport.

Resource Systems engineers typically specialise in applying contemporary technologies to increase productivity, sustainability and safety of resource industry (mining and mineral processing) operations.
