Course information
Course structure
To complete the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours), students must attain 32 credit points, which must include the following:
- eleven (11) credit points of core units
- one major - nineteen (19) credit points~
- 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 Y12 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.
With an international skills shortage in the engineering industry, Deakin graduates are in demand both in Australia and abroad. 92.4% of our engineering graduates found full-time employment within four months of graduation according to the Graduate Outcomes Survey 2020-2022.
A recent report from the Australian Council of Engineering Deans (ACED) projected a shortage of qualified engineering in the workforce. They estimated that approximately 100,000 engineers will be required by 2030 to deliver on government initiatives in energy, transport and built infrastructure, advanced manufacturing, minerals, defence, and more.^
Secure your future career by learning the design, development and production skills needed to work in a diverse range of industries that contribute to developing the systems of the future. Depending on your major, you can expect to gain employment in a wide range of private and government organisations. Roles may range from construction to environmental protection, or from robotics to building the infrastructure of tomorrow.
COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES
Deakin's graduate learning outcomes describe the knowledge and capabilities graduates can demonstrate at the completion of their course. These outcomes mean that regardless of the Deakin course you undertake, you can rest assured your degree will teach you the skills and professional attributes that employers value. They'll set you up to learn and work effectively in the future.
