Bachelor of Engineering Bachelor of Science

  • Objectives This double degree combines a full engineering degree with a supporting degree in a complementary branch of science from within the security, aviation, computer, natural, or applied sciences. There is a growing demand in high-technology industries and research centres for engineers with multidisciplinary skills in technology, management, and relevant sciences. This programme broadens the overall knowledge of students in areas which are complementary to their technical skills. The programme offers students a high level of flexibility as they are able to choose from a number of engineering and science specialist areas and can select a combination that best suits their personal career aspirations. Engineering Disciplines available include: Mechatronics, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Power Engineering, Computer Systems, Electronics & Communications and Instrumentation Control & Automation. Science Disciplines available include: Security Science, Computer Science, Mathematics, Aviation, Environmental Management, Biomedical Science, Human Genetics and Biomolecular Science.
  • Entry requirements In addition to satisying standard ECU admission requirements, satisfactory performance in TEE (or equivalent) Calculus or Applicable Mathematics is required. TEE Physics is desirable. Students who have completed a TAFE Diploma or its equivalent in an allied engineering field may be admitted to a Bachelor of Engineering with advanced standing. Special admission requirements Note: Students who have not completed TEE Calculus or TEE Physics (or equivalent) will be required to complete bridging units during the first year of their studies. Students wishing to undertake the Human Genetics major must have successfully completed TEE (or equivalent) Chemistry, Physical Science, or Human Biology.
