The four-year Bachelor of Engineering (BE) is designed for students who wish to become engineers and prepares graduates for membership of the Institute of Professional Engineers of New Zealand (IPENZ). The BE is accredited under the Washington Accord through the Institution of Professional Engineers of New Zealand (IPENZ).

The degree utilises practical engineering examples and projects so students can place their knowledge in context, and includes the study of commercial, managerial and professional topics. AUT has a close relationship with a broad range of engineering companies.

In your BE, you'll enjoy top-level resources to help you develop your skills. Facilities include six computer labs, as well as electrical, electronic, telecommunications, instrumentation, mechanics, thermodynamics and pneumatics laboratories.

Majors
Students major in one of two fields of engineering

  • Electrical and Electronic
  • Mechanical

The first year of the BE is common to both majors.

Programme Code: AK3751
Level: 8
Points: 480
Duration: Four years full time / Equivalent part time
Venue: City Campus
Starting date: 3 March 2008 / 21 July 2008

AUT encourages early application.
Late applications will be accepted if the programme is not full.

 

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

  • University Entrance, including NCEA: 14 credits at Level 3 in each of Mathematics with Calculus, and Physics

Note: Entrance to university does not guarantee admission to a specific programme of study.

 

SPECIAL ADMISSION

Applicants over 20 years of age who do not hold a university entrance qualification (such as NCEA or CIE) may qualify for university entrance via Special Admission.

 

ENGLISH LANGUAGE REQUIREMENTS

Applicants for whom English or Māori is not their first language are required to provide proof of an acceptable pass/grade gained in an accepted English language test. 

 

DESIGN PROJECT IN INDUSTRY
Part time students who are employed in a field related to electrical or electronic engineering may complete the practical component of the industrial project in association with their work, provided that the supervision and assessment requirements are met.

 

HONOURS
The Bachelor of Engineering may be awarded with honours. Students who have performed at a high standard throughout their studies will be eligible for honours.

THE KEY SKILLS YOU WILL ACQUIRE

The Electrical and Electronic Engineering major prepares students to solve complex engineering problems. Knowledge of scientific theory allows analysis of new problems, which together with research and investigation, is the basis of design. Engineers almost always work in teams, which often involve non-engineering participants. This means skills in communication and team work and an understanding of responsibility to society are important. Engineering projects must be reliable, safe and financially viable, so management evaluation of risk and practical engineering skills are also included in the programme.

 

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

  • Electrical engineering
  • Power and control engineering
  • Electronics
  • Computer engineering
  • Telecommunications engineering

 

FURTHER STUDIES

Graduates from the Bachelor of Engineering may continue with their professional development by undertaking postgraduate studies within the Faculty. A Postgraduate Diploma in Engineering, Masters and PhD programmes are all available.
