This combined degree will enable students to undertake study in engineering in conjunction with a science program.

Engineering specialisations available are civil, electrical and electronics, and mechanical engineering, while Applied Science specialisations are offered in cognitive science, ecology and ecosystems, general science, science communication and spatial information technology.

Emphasis is placed on learning through project work with students being exposed to actual practice through guest lectures by practicing professionals, site visits and work experience.

Graduates are equipped to demonstrate and apply an understanding of their chosen areas of engineering and science, including concepts, theories and principles to practice in real situations. Students also become effective problem solvers able to think globally, apply logical and critical thinking, and to apply an understanding of scientific and technological factors and to consider issues from various cultural, economic and other societal perspectives.

Graduates of this combined degree are awarded both the Bachelor of Engineering and the Bachelor of Applied Science.

Students Commencing in Semester 1

 

Study plans for 2011 are accurate as at 3 August 2010. The University reserves the right to make changes up until 1 October 2010.  2011 unit offering and fee information will be available from 1 October 2010.

The Recommended Study Plans provided below are suitable for a student commencing in semester 1 and enrolling in a standard full time load.  Students entering this course with advanced standing, wanting to study part time or wishing to vary their study plan due to work, personal, financial or other reasons should use the table as a guide to create an individual study plan. 

When designing an individual study plan:

♦    ensure Common Units are completed in the first year of study;

♦    maintain the basic order in which units are to be attempted; and

♦    check the assumed knowledge for each unit as some 200 and 300 level units assume you have completed foundation unit/s in the subject area at a lower level.  200 level units have the unit code which includes a number starting with 200 i.e. PMO201.

RECOMMENDED ENGINEERING ELECTIVES available via CROSS INSTITUTIONAL ENROLMENT

External units offered by other Australian Universities are available to CDU students in external form. Students will need a Cross Institutional Enrolment to undertake these units, for which application should be made directly to the University offering these units. Units from Central Queensland University (CQU), Deakin University (Deakin), University of Southern Queensland (USQ) and University of Wollongong (UoW) are listed below as approved external electives for CDU's Bachelor of Engineering program.

Note that these units are not offered by CDU and therefore CDU staff may be unable to provide any assistance with these units.

Important dates for enrolment of the Universities listed below may vary from CDU's dates. Please check with the relevant University dates for application, enrolment and teaching semester dates.
