Program Outline

Degree Overview:

Design and innovation are at the heart of engineering at Deakin. Their future-focused courses go beyond theory to provide students with the skills and experience they need to create innovative engineering solutions to the challenges of tomorrow. The Bachelor of Engineering (Industry) (Honours) extends this to equip students with technical expertise in an engineering field of their choice whilst also supporting them to take a compulsory year-long work-integrated industry placement as part of their studies. Undertake core units in your first trimester, before selecting to major in either civil, electrical and electronics, environmental, mechanical or mechatronics engineering. Students will combine contemporary theory with industry-led projects and benefit from Deakin’s unique industry partnerships to develop the skills needed to confidently pursue a career as a professional engineer.

Outline:

To qualify for the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Industry) students must complete thirty eight (38) credit points comprising: eleven (11) credit points of core units one major - nineteen (19) credit points ~ six (6) credit points of Industry Placement units two (2) open elective units (2 credit points) completion of three (3) or four (4) zero-credit point compulsory units: SEJ010 Introduction to Safety and Project Oriented Learning DAI001 Academic Integrity Module STP010 Career Tools for Employability SLE010 Laboratory and Fieldwork Safety Induction Program. ^

• Students who have not previously completed VCE Mathematical Methods (units 3 and 4) are advised to undertake SIT190 Introduction to Functions, Relations and Graphs in the first trimester of their Engineering course.
Therefore, these students may only be required to complete 1 elective unit (instead of 2 elective units). ~Students who have not studied chemistry in Year 12 VCE or equivalent are advised to study SLE133 prior to studying SLE155 as part of the Environmental major. ^Students must complete this unit as part of the Environmental major.

Careers:

Deakin graduates are sought-after both in Australia and abroad. That’s because we provide students with the knowledge, skills and practical experience required for contemporary practice. As a graduate, you will be highly valued for your skills in innovation, leadership, project management and communication, as well as your ability to anticipate and tackle the unknown challenges of tomorrow. At Deakin, we emphasise the importance of design, rapid prototyping and modelling in engineering practice. Throughout your studies you will be supported to acquire and apply your technical skills through industry-led projects in collaborative teams. Whether you choose to study online or on campus, you will have ample opportunity to put theory into practice in their world-class, multi-million-dollar engineering precinct. Located at the Geelong Waurn Ponds Campus, the precinct houses some of the most advanced systems, laboratories and learning spaces in Australia. At Deakin they’ll prepare you to be a well-rounded engineer. Beyond technical skills, you will acquire transferable skills in entrepreneurship, innovation, project management, technical report writing and more. You will be well-equipped to meet the challenges of contemporary practice by developing an understanding of the ethical, technical and professional issues within the industry, all while gaining an insight into the social, cultural, global and environmental responsibilities of the modern engineer.
