Curtin University Courses

This double degree major combines units from major international and other related disciplines. The major provides sufficient flexibility for students to combine business studies with language and cultural studies.

This course sits within the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) degree. Software engineers create the computer-based systems that underpin the function of devices, machines and operations used in everyday life and across diverse industries.

This major is part of a larger course (Bachelor of Advanced Science). This information is specific to the major, please refer to the course for more information.

This honours stream extends knowledge of current academic research methodology as it is applied in the field of construction management, demonstrated through a supervised research project and an honours dissertation.

Human factors is the science of people at work. It is concerned with understanding human capabilities and limitations, and applying this knowledge to areas such as the design of: equipment, systems, tools, workplace environment, and work processes.

Our world is characterised by the ever-increasing number of digital systems and intelligent sensors which have inbuilt or 'embedded' computers. Embedded systems are computers with specialised input/output devices that may or may not be programmed by the end user.

The Power Systems Engineering extension specialisation is aimed to provide students with the essential knowledge in power systems. The specialisation is designed to reflect classical and emerging topics in power systems through contemporary pedagogical and active learning approaches.

What you'll learn apply discipline, knowledge, principles and concepts; apply modern geophysical methods to exploration problems in petroleum, mineral and groundwater exploration; evaluate new methodologies think critically, creatively and reflectively, analyse...

The explosion of embedded and connected smart devices, systems and technologies in our lives has created an opportunity to connect every 'thing' to the Internet.

Measurement is the way to test theories, validate designs, and sense what is going on in the environment, while instrumentation is the devices used in obtaining the measurements.

This extension specialisation is suitable for chemical engineering students who wish to gain insights into the field of energy engineering with a broad understanding of the various challenges and appropriate pathways for managing industry's transition to renewable energy sources.

This specialisation is appropriate for students with an existing chemistry background and interest. It covers major chemical extraction processes and how ore characteristics govern process selection and operation.
