Overview
Gain the technical skills and strategic thinking to drive innovation and solve global problems with a double degree in Engineering and Business.
Students gain a comprehensive understanding of modern, responsible business practices and the crucial role of technology in supporting efficient business operations. They also develop the technical skills to design and implement infrastructure and systems.
This interdisciplinary course produces industry-ready professional engineers with the skills, capabilities and attributes needed to analyse and create solutions for complex engineering systems. Students choose either a Civil Engineering or Mechanical Engineering specialisation to develop their expertise in a field of practice.
Core business units develop knowledge in sustainability, marketing, accounting, finance, artificial intelligence, business analytics, and professional development. These learnings are underpinned by professional work experience in a relevant business organisation.
Graduates have a skill set to pursue careers across the engineering and business spectrum as professional engineers with management and business capabilities or as entrepreneurs capable of running their own engineering businesses.
Note: Some engineering units will require students to attend on-campus residentials.
| Course Learning Outcome |
|---|
GA1: Intellectual rigour Critically evaluate and apply practical and responsible business solutions from a range of related disciplines to both inform and justify critical decisions. Critically apply systems approaches using a wide range of technical and contextual factors to conceptualise and evaluate human-centred solutions to complex, industry-relevant problems in the chosen field of engineering specialisation Conduct research to create and apply new knowledge in the chosen field of engineering specialisation with some independence Lead or function as a team member and systematically manage information and projects to deliver industry-relevant engineering solutions aligned with stakeholder and community needs |
GA2: Creativity Apply knowledge and skills creatively in devising innovative, effective and responsible solutions to challenges related to a business. Creatively apply established engineering methods, techniques, tools and resources in the context of systematic engineering synthesis, design and management processes Critically apply systems approaches using a wide range of technical and contextual factors to conceptualise and evaluate human-centred solutions to complex, industry-relevant problems in the chosen field of engineering specialisation |
GA3: Ethical practice Develop and apply recognised ethical frameworks to influence responsible business behaviours within an organisational context. Apply professional conduct and judgement that reflects contemporary industry standards of ethical, sustainable and human-centred engineering practice |
GA4: Knowledge of a discipline Demonstrate and apply in-depth and responsible discipline-specific knowledge and skills within a local, regional and global perspective. Draw upon a broad conceptual knowledge of mathematics, other basic sciences, computing and information sciences, and specialist bodies of knowledge in the chosen field of engineering specialisation Conduct research to create and apply new knowledge in the chosen field of engineering specialisation with some independence |
GA5: Lifelong learning Demonstrate autonomy, responsibility and accountability for ongoing learning in business settings. Conduct research to create and apply new knowledge in the chosen field of engineering specialisation with some independence Critically reflect on and document development of proficiency in competencies in the relevant field of engineering practice to guide continuing professional development and lifelong learning |
GA6: Communication and social skills Prepare and deliver, individually and/or in a team, well developed and justified discipline-specific advice through both written and oral communication Investigate and identify a broad range of responsible leadership practices in the management of people and self Employ effective oral and written communication and social skills, informed by an appreciation of diverse cultural and Indigenous perspectives. |

A compulsory 60-day Engineering placement is a component of the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours).
Professional work experience in a business organisation forms part of the Bachelor of Business.
Students will choose one of the following specialisations:
Civil Engineering: Students develop skills and knowledge to solve complex problems related to four main civil engineering systems, namely civil construction systems, transport systems, built structures, and sustainable water systems.
Mechanical Engineering: Students develop skills and knowledge to solve complex engineering problems related to four main mechanical engineering systems: mechanical design and manufacturing systems, thermofluids mechanics and energy systems, and mechatronics and control systems.
