Program Overview

Bachelor of Engineering Honours

Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of the program, students will be able to:

1. Select and apply investigative methods, models, and tools with a general understanding of their underlying principles, operating parameters, and procedural requirements.
2. Competently address complex problems requiring a broad range of discipline knowledge, under some supervision.
3. Respond effectively to non-routine, complex problems/opportunities based on a structured process of inquiry and evidence-based research, to create solutions that respect the required regulatory environment.
4. Apply diverse (systems) methodologies or thinking approaches and strategies to develop and implement innovative ideas.
5. Understand the impact of high uncertainty and/or context on the design cycle and the benefit of systems design/engineering framework.
6. Analyse, evaluate, and articulate system design solutions against a broad and interdisciplinary set of requirements, taking into account multiple perspectives such as ecological, social, cultural, economic, risk, and technical.
7. Manage inquiry/research activities to find data, in situations which may involve ambiguity, uncertainty, and/or internal conflicts, and interpret and evaluate results based on an understanding of discipline theoretical and methodological issues.
8. Engage with stakeholders to clarify requirements and organise, interpret, present, and discuss professional ideas and issues in oral, written, and graphic formats using appropriate tools.
9. Proficiently apply standard project management tools and methodologies for assigned project activities on a small team scale.
10. Exercise sound critical and ethical judgement, at a general level, on professional context and conduct issues.

These learning outcomes are aligned with the following graduate qualities:

• Depth of disciplinary expertise
• Critical thinking and Problem-solving
• Inventiveness
• Cultural competence
• Interdisciplinary effectiveness
• Influence
• Information and Digital literacy
• Communication (oral and written)
• Integrated professional, ethical, and personal identity

The program is designed to equip students with a comprehensive understanding of engineering principles, as well as the skills to apply these principles in a practical and innovative manner. The learning outcomes are structured to ensure that graduates possess a deep understanding of their discipline, as well as the ability to think critically, solve complex problems, and communicate effectively. The program also emphasizes the importance of cultural competence, interdisciplinary effectiveness, and integrated professional, ethical, and personal identity, preparing students for successful careers in a rapidly changing world.
