Course description
About Engineering Technology (Specialisation)
Do you enjoy solving problems, and we don’t just mean mathematics? Are you curious about how things work? If you would like to be at the cutting edge of scientific and technological advancements, then becoming an engineering technologist will provide a challenging career where you can utilise these abilities and interests and turn ideas into reality.
As an engineering technologist you can focus on applications and interactions within systems. Technologists combine a sound engineering understanding with modern technology to be innovative by applying, modifying and adapting engineering practices in meeting the world’s challenges and problems for communities, society and the environment in general.
Civil engineering typically involves infrastructure systems planning, design and supervision including the construction of buildings and bridges, transport and water resource systems.
Mechanical engineering typically involves planning, design and supervision in climate control, manufacturing and process and machine systems.
Electrical engineering typically specialises in systems design, development and maintenance of systems associated with electrical power and energy, telecommunications, instrumentation and control, microprocessors and electronics.
Career Opportunities
Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Specialisation) graduates enjoy a wide variety of challenging career options across a range of industries and government sectors. As an Engineering Technologist you will apply your problem-solving skills and knowledge of scientific fundamentals to the design, testing, inspection, adaptation, commissioning, management or operation of on-site equipment, plant and sustainable systems.
Engineering Technologists, having specialised in one of the disciplines of civil (structural), civil (municipal/transportation) mechanical (process), mechanical (energy), mechanical (design), electrical (electronics and communication), electrical (electrical power and control) or electrical (control and instrumentation), find employment in national and international public and private industry sectors including the energy, transportation, manufacturing, process, construction, mining and education industries.
The Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Specialisation) program is based on the project-based learning philosophy which offers the opportunity to learn in context. This approach is designed to produce work-ready graduates with industry-relevant skills.
Program Structure
This program is aimed at the education of engineering technologists in one of eight specialisations:
* Civil
o Structural
o Municipal/Transportation
* Mechanical
o Process
o Energy
o Design
* Electrical
o Electronics and Communication
o Electrical Power and Machines
o Control and Instrumentation
All students (except students entering with advanced standing) entering the program will undertake a common first two years (assuming progression at a part-time rate). These first two years of the program may be studied internally or externally. The later years may be studied externally with some courses also available internally (students should check individual course availability).
Common years 1 and 2
Note: this is a new program and not all courses and study modes will be available in 2009. The recommended study progressions shown below are for a part-time student i.e. 12 units of credit per term (courses may be either 6 or 12 units of credit). Year 1 and 2 courses will be available both internally and externally. Students are advised to check availability of Year 3, 4, 5 and 6 courses.
All students enrol in a common first two years and then select a specialist stream. In these common years students must complete.
PLEASE NOTE:
* There is a compulsory 5 day residential school for ENEG11001 Engineering Skills 1 held during Week One of Term 1. Non attendence may result in forced withdrawl from the course
