COURSE CURRICULUM

The indicative sequence for the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Professional) for Semester 1, 2026 provides a comprehensive framework for students to develop technical expertise, practical skills, and industry experience across a range of engineering disciplines. Students are advised to use the study plan template available via their student portal in conjunction with their course planner to structure their studies, noting that the sequence may vary depending on advanced standing or exemptions, and that unit offerings are subject to change. In the first year, students complete foundational core units including Humanitarian Engineering Design Project, Engineering Materials, Preliminary Mathematics, and Energy and Motion in Semester 1, followed by Introduction to Programming, Technology in an Indigenous Context Project, Engineering Mechanics, and Linear Algebra and Applications in Semester 2. These units establish a strong grounding in engineering principles, mathematics, programming, and problem-solving.In the second year, students advance into major-focused units such as Calculus and Applications, Object Oriented Programming, Engineering Technology Inquiry Project, Cloud Computing Architecture, Engineering Technology Design Project, and Internet and Cybersecurity for Engineering Applications, alongside electives. These units develop specialised knowledge in software, computing, and applied engineering technologies while fostering analytical, design, and collaborative skills.A key component of the program is the 12-month professional placement, which includes Work Experience in Industry A and B with Integrated Professional Placement A and B. These placements provide students with immersive industry exposure, enabling them to apply theoretical knowledge in real-world engineering environments, build professional networks, and gain insight into workplace practices.In the later years, students engage with advanced units such as Professional Experience in Engineering, Data Structures and Patterns, Introduction to Artificial Intelligence, Interface Design and Development, Engineering Technology Sustainability Project, and Software Development for Mobile Devices, culminating in capstone and major projects including Engineering Technology Project A and B, Final Year Capstone Projects, Artificial Intelligence Engineering, Software Architectures and Design, and Deploying Secure Engineering Applications Online. These advanced units consolidate technical proficiency, project management, and innovation skills, preparing graduates for successful careers across architectural, civil, mechanical, biomedical, electrical, robotics, and software engineering fields.
