A common first year of study provides a broad skills base, and students develop sound theoretical knowledge and gain opportunities for hands-on practical experience. Engineering design, communication and project management are central to the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours). Students undertake a full-year thesis in the final year, completing a significant research project. Students choose one of the five majors: civil, mechanical, electrical and electronic, computer systems, or chemical engineering and one of the several minors such as sustainability, asset management, embedded systems, maths, physics or software.
