Bachelor of Engineering Honours
Charles Darwin University, Darwin, NT, Australia
About this program
The Bachelor of Engineering Honours at Charles Darwin University provides advanced science, in theory and practice, to qualify students as an engineer able to solve problems in infrastructure, the environment or technology. Students specialise in civil and structural, electrical and electronics, or mechanical engineering, and can study fully online or on campus, full-time or part-time, qualifying as an engineer in Australia and internationally. The course provides an advanced understanding of the scientific and technical principles of engineering, 12 weeks of industry placement, and teamwork and management skills for engineering projects or research.

Course structure
Study plan in 4 parts
- Subsequent years build on the foundation of the first year to provide specific learning appropriate to the chosen specialisation. The final year includes a design project and a thesis
- both of which are capstone units intended to bring together all the learning of the previous years and prepare you for a career as a professional engineer. A feature of the program is twelve weeks of industrial work experience
- ensuring that you are familiar with current engineering practice and begin to create your network of engineering contacts for future employment. This course is available externally by distance learning if you are not able to attend classes on campus on a regular basis. Access to the internet is required for distance learning
- with access to high speed broadband highly recommended
