The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) includes the following engineering disciplines as majors:
Chemical Engineering
Civil and Construction Engineering
Electrical and Computer Engineering
Energy Engineering
Industrial and Systems Engineering
Mechanical Engineering
Mechatronic Engineering
Metallurgical Engineering
Mining Engineering
Software Systems Engineering
We also offer a three-year Bachelor of Technology in Computer Systems and Networking.
Engineering Foundation Year
Designed in extensive consultation with industry, our EFY program and its purpose-built first-year studios encourage learning by doing.
The EFY’s cross-disciplinary curriculum has been developed as a base for all Curtin engineering disciplines, to ensure you graduate with a solid theoretical grounding, strong practical experience and cultural awareness.
Your studies will include a focus on emerging engineering themes including data analytics, 3D printing, machine learning and automation, so you’ll graduate with skills and abilities relevant to the future of the field. Your studies will also address global challenges such as climate change, developing your professional responsibilities.
The program and its support services will help you progress smoothly into your area of specialisation and graduate as a sought-after and career-ready engineer.
What you’ll learn
Demonstrate a conceptual understanding of applied science, computing, and engineering.
Use underpinning science, engineering, and sustainability principles to solve complex social and industrial challenges.
Design and implement engineering solutions in a safe, ethical, legal, professional, and through respectful partnerships with local First Peoples and other diverse cultures as globally responsible citizens.
Assess the available scientific and engineering knowledge and undertake applied research in the broad engineering field.
Employ the technologies and knowledge to develop and communicate effective and innovative engineering solutions to complex problems.
Develop lifelong learning habits, teamwork and leadership abilities, and project management skills.
