Engineering is an information-intensive industry. Information is an essential resource for major tasks such as design, planning, control, reporting and decision making. With project complexity increasing, the need for effectively gathering, compiling, controlling and integrating information become much greater. This program provides a comprehensive, industry-focused qualification that equips students with the knowledge and skills to practice as a professional engineer and/or information technologist, through studies focused on artificial intelligence, computing science, information systems or software engineering. Students will also gain valuable industry relevant work experience of 12 weeks (60 days) towards the end of your degree through a range of program options including the Overseas Experience Program. Students will also have the opportunity to undertake a semester of industry training through the Industry Affiliates Program to gain real world experience and to create employment opportunities. Students need to develop knowledge and skills in the planning, design, management, construction and maintenance of civil engineering projects, as well as the communication, research and critical analysis skills, which are vital to a successful career as a professional engineer. Students will have the opportunity to undertake a semester of industry training, through the Industry Affiliates Program, and the opportunity to participate in the Overseas Experience Program, which will give 12 weeks work experience.
Good technical skills and good knowledge of information technology.
In this course major studies include gaining of knowledge related to core engineering subjects such as mathematics and physics and also gain information technology technology skills.
The Bachelor of Engineering is accredited by Engineers Australia and the Bachelor of Information Technology is accredited by the Australian Computer Society.
After pursuing this degree students will have a diverse range of career options depending on specialization. Civil engineering and IT graduates find careers in land and canal developments, other public works, port facilities and airports, railways, roads and highways, tunnels, bridges, buildings and dams, and water supplies and waste-water treatment. Potential employers include local and international consulting firms, construction companies and research institutions, as well as all levels of government. Graduates are now also being employed on construction projects as information engineers to control information databases generated from the project. Graduates in electrical and electronic engineering should find employment in a wide range of fields, particularly in areas where rapid changes in technology are occurring. Graduates may find employment with service industries such as Telstra, Optus and electricity authorities such as Pacific Power and Energy Australia; large private industrial groups, such as Ericson, Boeing Australia, IBM, and Alcatel; small innovative private firms specializing in the application of new technologies to new products and services, in a range of areas such as telecommunications and wireless electronics, internet services and biomedical instrumentation. A career in electrical and electronic engineering offers challenging opportunities over a wide range of activities from research and design to operations, management and planning.
