Curtin’s Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) offers you an industry-connected education experience in which you will learn how to devise engineering solutions for complex societal and industry challenges.
Bachelor Degrees prepare students to develop broad and coherent knowledge and skills in a discipline for professional work and further learning corresponding to AQF level 7 qualifications. The honours component prepares students to develop advanced knowledge and skills for professional work, research and further learning corresponding to AQF level 8 qualifications.
With the core focus on developing problem-solving skills, Curtin’s BEng (Hons) course prepares the student to apply concepts of science, mathematics, data analytics, information science, and computing to practical application. The students take a system approach, including demonstrating explicit consideration for safety, ethics and climate impact, respect for the indigenous culture and science, and adherence to legal and professional standards. The course promotes advancing lifelong learning habits, teamwork and leadership abilities, project management skills, and identifying opportunities for career-wide professional growth.
After completing the Engineering Foundation Year (EFY), students can select from a range of discipline areas for their major from Year 2. In addition, students can take up an extension-specialisation to deepen their skills in the chosen major or select a specialisation or a minor to broaden their knowledge.You'll learn, bDemonstrate a conceptual understanding of fundamental science, mathematics, data analytics, information science, and computing underpinning the broad field of engineering, GC1.
