Program Structure
This program is aimed at the education of professional engineers in one of four disciplines:
  • Civil
  • Electrical
  • Mechanical
  • Mining

All students enrol in a 100% common first year and then a 75% common second year with a 25% discipline stream component. Students must select their discipline before enrolling in second year courses, except mining students who need to indicate their discipline in the first year of study.

The first two years of this program are common to CF47 – Bachelor of Engineering (Co-op)/Diploma of professional Practice (Engineering). Students in this program may be invited to transfer to the Co-op program subject to their performance and the availability of industry placement places.
