Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)

Southern Cross University

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) is designed to meet the requirements for accreditation at the level of Professional Engineer by Engineers Australia. Foundational core units build knowledge of the basic sciences, practical skills and the processes and philosophy that underpin the engineering profession.

Students choose a specialisation from either:

Civil Engineering

This specialisation develops skills and knowledge across the breadth of disciplines encompassed by civil engineering, including construction, project management, hydraulic engineering, water and wastewater engineering, structural, geotechnical engineering and transport engineering.

Mechanical Engineering

This specialisation develops skills and knowledge in three main areas that cover all aspects of mechanical engineering. These include mechanical design and manufacturing systems, thermo-fluid mechanics and energy systems, and mechatronics and control systems.

The final year of the course contains a mixture of advanced project-orientated core units and is designed to build skills in independent investigation, critical thinking, creative problem-solving, and ethical and professional behaviour.
