Categories

COURSE DESCRIPTION

The Engineering/Commerce double degree is an extended, optional program for engineering students. It is designed to further develop your business skills, giving you an added level of experience to take into the first stage of your engineering career after you graduate. As with any of our engineering degrees, you will graduate as an Engineers Australia accredited professional in your chosen engineering stream.

In your first year you will complete the Engineering Foundation Year (EFY). The EFY builds a solid base of the fundamental concepts common to all areas of engineering. The EFY was developed in partnership with industry to create a curriculum that is reflective of engineering practice.

To satisfy professional requirements, students must complete at least 12 weeks or equivalent of exposure to professional engineering practice. This requirement can be met by appropriate work experience or through a combination of technical and non-technical activities. Students must demonstrate that they have met these requirements by using a formal Log Book to record their professional experiences during the period of their degree study.

You can combine one of the following Engineering streams:

Chemical Engineering
Civil and Construction Engineering
Mechanical Engineering
Metallurgical Engineering
Mining Engineering or

with one of the following commerce Majors:

Accounting
Economics
Finance
Management.

Professional recognition

Graduates fulfil the stage one competencies stipulated by Engineers Australia (EAust) as the pathway to chartered-engineer status (CPEng).

Upon completion of the Finance major, you may seek membership of professional bodies such as the Financial Services Institute of Australasia.

If you complete the Management major, you may receive recognition from the Australian Institute of Management.

Graduating with the Economics major will make you eligible for associate professional membership of the Economic Society of Australia (W.A. Branch).

The Accounting major meets the educational requirements for membership of CPA Australia, and if you complete two extra units (Taxation 231 and Accounting (Auditing) 300) you will also be eligible for membership of the Institute of Chartered Accountants.

What you’ll learn

Apply broad discipline knowledge to a range of theoretical and practical situations through research and practical application in the field of science and humanities
Think creatively and critically to generate innovative solutions to complex scientific social and political problems
Access, evaluate, synthesise and communicate relevant information from a range of organisational and external sources using appropriate technologies
Describe global and cultural issues as related to the engineering and commerce areas and their impact on local and international communities
Demonstrate respect for human rights, cultural diversity and the particular rights of Indigenous Australians
Show leadership and employ ethical practice and professional integrity, both within a team and independently

Learn how to design and construct the contemporary infrastructure needed by communities and industry.

Civil engineers design and construct our infrastructure. They are key members of teams involved in the design and construction of buildings, bridges, roads and highways, harbours, dams, irrigation and water supplies, municipal infrastructure and other large structures and projects.

As our built environment becomes increasingly complicated, ambitious construction projects can only be completed by teams of people with different skills, working together. The civil engineer is central to this process.
