Course overview

Help to engineer the future. CDU's Bachelor of Engineering Science will encourage you to think independently and find creative and logical solutions for real world challenges. The degree will provide both the scientific knowledge that underpins each discipline and hands-on practical experience in specialist areas of civil and structural, electrical and electronics or mechanical engineering. Study 100% online or on-campus with flexibility to study full-time or part-time, and learn from award-winning engineers and lecturers. This course has been developed in consultation with, and is supported by, industry leaders so you will graduate with engineering skills that directly align with international industry requirements. As an engineering technologist in: Civil and Structural, you will be able to work with other engineers and technologists on the design and maintenance of structures for the modern world. Key areas include water resources, roads and traffic, bridges and marine structures. Your studies will focus on developing sustainable and ethical civil and structural solutions in areas such as structural engineering, water and its uses and the principles of sustainability. Electrical and Electronics, you will be able to work together with engineers and technologists on the design, automation and control of the devices which make modern life convenient. You are involved in electronics, telecommunications, biomedical applications and power generation and distribution, including renewable energy. Mechanical, you will be able to collaborate with other engineers and technologists in the design and build of large and small devices which improve transportation and provide affordable manufacturing and production solutions. Key areas include mechatronics, robotics, biomechanical applications, aeroplanes, cars, pumps and pipelines. You can combine this course with the two-year Master of Engineering to become a professional engineer. This pathway is similar to engineering programs offered in Europe and is an alternative to the traditional four-year Bachelor of Engineering Honours course.
