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

THE KEY SKILLS YOU WILL ACQUIRE

The ability to function in a commercial environment as an engineering professional; applying an advanced knowledge of science, technology, design principles, and project management to solve high level problems and development tasks. In addition, you will have a firm understanding of industrial computing, state of the art simulation techniques, and methodologies to evaluate new materials, products, and processes. Through a project orientated education, you will be equipped to research new fields of study, be prepared for lifelong learning during your career, and be a contributing team-player or manager. This core skill-set is not only sought after in an industrial setting but also by the wider economy and society.

 

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

  • Mechanical engineer
  • Manufacturing engineer
  • Manufacturing manager
  • Designer
  • Project manager

 

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.

 

PAPERS

The award of the Bachelor of Engineering degree is granted upon the accumulation of 480 points from the required levels.
