Aim
The aim of the program is to provide applicants with skills in both engineering and management. It prepares graduates for careers in many sectors in the economy including finance, marketing, computing, transport, mechanical and manufacturing engineering, defence industries and government agencies with relevant skills in business management. The engineering studies are augmented by studies in management to enable the graduate to engage in management, address current problems and strategic issues and recognise the need for innovation and change.
Content & Structure
The engineering studies over the first three years of the program focus on basic engineering and physical sciences, communication and the role of the engineer in society. In the final two years of the program, students focus on specialist studies in the area of mechanical and manufacturing engineering. Research or industry-based projects in the final year provide students with an opportunity to integrate the skills developed throughout the program. The management program supports the engineering program with studies in law, employment relations, accounting and economics, quality, marketing and operations management.
Professional accreditation and recognition
This program is professionally accredited by Engineers Australia and is designed to meet the requirements for graduate membership of Engineers Australia and comparable international institutions.
