The ANU Bachelor of Engineering degree course is a four-year, Engineers Australia (IEAust) accredited undergraduate program that integrates selected areas of electrical and mechanical engineering with computer systems and engineering management to produce well-rounded and multi-skilled engineering professionals. The systems engineering approach at ANU is underscored by technological trends that cut across boundaries between traditional disciplines of engineering and computer science.

Aims of the BE degree program
The aim of the BE degree program is to prepare students for successful careers as professional engineering managers, designers, analysts, educators and researchers.

The ANU Bachelor of Engineering degrees builds on a foundation of basic science and engineering fundamentals, offers a unique systems approach built into professional development courses and the diverse range of engineering discipline courses available, and provide for the opportunity to diversify and specialise through a suitable choice of engineering major. The following engineering majors are offered within the four-year BE degree program:

• telecommunication systems
• mechatronic systems
• manufacturing and management systems
• materials and mechanical systems
• sustainable energy systems
• electronic systems
• digital systems
• photonic systems
• environmental systems

The program of study is the same for all students in the first year, with specialisation opportunities starting in year 2 through the selection of at least one of the major disciplines listed above, appropriate professional electives and project work.

It is the aim that the BE graduate: has a sound and broad knowledge of basic science and engineering; is able to communicate effectively with engineers and the general public; has the capacity to acquire in-depth discipline knowledge; is able to use common sense, scientific and engineering knowledge to identify, formulate and solve problems; is able to use a systems approach to engineering analysis, design, operation and management; is able to contribute to a multidisciplinary and multicultural team; is conscious of the social, cultural, global, environmental, legal and business aspects of engineering, including a commitment to the principles of sustainable development; has an understanding of the responsibilities of an inclusive and socially aware engineering professional, including a commitment to the Engineers Australia Code of Ethics, life-long learning and continuing professional development.

These attributes are engendered by: formal courses in basic science, engineering fundamentals, engineering management and law; discipline courses that introduce students to the cutting edge of selected areas of engineering; hands-on experience in the analysis, design and development of telecommunications, manufacturing, energy and management systems; final-year project work which is relevant to industry research, development, operations and management; emphasis in all units on the functions, goals and wider context of engineering; teaching and assessment processes which reflect the importance of written and oral communications, project and design work; small-group teaching that encourages collaborative learning and problem solving; group laboratory, analysis and design exercises; and a student seminar program.

Students may specialise through their choice of Engineering majors and electives and other University electives. Students are encouraged to create a diverse program of study from a variety of engineering disciplines to take full advantage of the unique educational opportunities offered by ANU Engineering.

Practical Experience
Engineers Australia specifies that students are required to complete at least 60 days of engineering work experience during the course through approved professional employment taken in the vacation periods. For details, see entry for ENGN3100 Practical Experience.

 

Admission Requirements

Admission to all programs is on a competitive basis, taking into account all relevant academic qualifications. If you hold more than one qualification, admission will be based on your overall record. Tertiary qualifications are generally weighted more heavily than secondary. If you have completed an approved tertiary preparation course or alternative entry scheme, you will be assessed on the results of that scheme alone, unless you have undertaken subsequent study.

The table below is a guide to the entry level required for domestic applicants. Exact entry level will be set at time of offer.

Entry Requirement	Entry Level
ATAR	85
QLD Band	8
International Baccalaureate	30

From 2010, the UAI/ENTER/TER will be referred to as ATAR (Australian Tertiary Admission Rank) for admission in 2010. See http://www.uac.edu.au/undergraduate/atar/ for further information.

Queensland Band equivalents are a guide only - selection is made on a UAI equivalent that is not available to students.

The entry requirements above are for domestic applicants only.
