Overview

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) will equip you with the fundamentals of engineering, both technically and via communication skills. Faculty members who drive relevant and cutting-edge research will teach you how to apply this knowledge in real situations, preparing you to engineer the future.

The first year of study allows you to learn more about engineering and its various fields. From your second year, you will focus on your chosen major, while in your third and fourth year of the major you will branch into more specialised areas.

Your degree also includes 12-weeks hands-on industry experience, either in Australia or overseas, as well as a range of industry projects and other career-ready learning opportunities.

See the course handbook for more information.

Our faculty’s commitment to excellence is internationally recognised, as evidenced by the consistent ranking of our civil, manufacturing, mineral and mining, materials, and mechanical engineering courses among the top 150 universities worldwide.

You can specialise in a major by choosing from the following:

Telecommunications Engineering and Internet of Things (major)

The Telecommunications engineering and Internet of Things (IoT) major deals with large-scale data networks, such as the internet and other devices and systems that represent, store and transmit analog and digital information. This includes data transmission, equipment, customer access technology, analog and digital radio and television systems, satellite communications, global navigation, mobile communications and remote sensing/telemetry systems. Additionally, it delves into IoT technologies, seamlessly integrating interconnected and integrated computing devices, machines, and objects to identify, track, and manage data effectively.

You will study data, voice and video communications, transmission through wireless and wired media, predicting and modelling communication systems performance, and detecting or correcting errors in transmission.

This major also includes a 12-week hands-on industry experience, either in Australia or overseas, as well as a range of industry projects and other career-ready learning opportunities. Our faculty's commitment to excellence is internationally recognised, as evidenced by the consistent ranking of many of our engineering courses among the top 150 universities worldwide.
