A Bachelor of Engineering requires four years of full-time study. 480 points are required, of which at least 320 points must be above 100 level, at least 210 points must be above 200 level, and 120 points must be at 400 level. Honours is awarded based on achievement in the third and fourth years of study.

To enrol in a BE you need a university entrance qualification. It is useful (and strongly recommended) to have studied mathematics with calculus or statistics. Bridging courses are available in mathematics and computer science for those without the necessary background: see Mathematics in the Subjects section for entry requirements for MATH 113 and MATH 114. In addition, a low-cost, non-credit Science and Technology Transition Course is offered in the evenings from July to October.

Entry to the second year (Part 2) of the Bachelor of Engineering programme will be based on academic performance in your first year. You must pass all of the Part 1 courses and achieve a good grade in the majority to gain entry to Part 2. All first-year BE courses may be put towards another degree if you do not continue to the second year.

BE First Year

All students will take the following courses:

  • COMP 102 Introduction to Computer Program Design
  • COMP 103 Introduction to Data Structures and Algorithms
  • ENGR 101 Engineering Technology
  • MATH 114 Algebra and Discrete Mathematics

Students intending to specialise in Electronic Engineering or Computer System Engineering will also take the following courses:

  • MATH 113 Calculus
  • PHYS 114 Physics 1A
  • PHYS 115 Physics 1B

Students intending to specialise in Network Engineering will also take the following courses:

  • MATH 113 Calculus
  • STAT 131 Probability and Decision Modelling
  • SWEN 102 Software Engineering

Students intending to specialise in Software Engineering will also take the following courses:

  • STAT 131 Probability and Decision Modelling
  • SWEN 102 Software Engineering

BE Specialisations

Computer System Engineering:

  • Focuses on the combination of hardware and software techniques to develop innovative solutions to problems. Students learn techniques from digital electronics, embedded controllers, software development, industrial design and artificial intelligence to arrive at the best designs and implementations.

Electronic Engineering:

  • Focuses on the use of hardware techniques to develop effective solutions to engineering problems. The curriculum includes both digital and analogue electronics, power electronics, communication electronics and devices.

Network Engineering:

  • Focuses on the design of distributed and networked solutions. Graduates will understand modern communication technologies, network protocols, middleware, and software development. They will be able to design, build, and configure modern networks and networked systems. The programme emphasises the interaction between networked applications and their environment.

Software Engineering:

  • Focuses on the design, implementation, and maintenance of software systems that behave reliably and efficiently, and are affordable to develop and maintain. The programme draws on technologies for both small- and large-scale development, emphasises both flexible and agile development, includes a range of methodologies, and considers human factors.
