About this course

In modern engineering, large-scale engineering projects are likely to be multi-disciplinary, requiring engineers from diverse backgrounds to be able to work effectively as a team to deliver the outcomes.

In this environment, a broader understanding of engineering, beyond one specific area of specialisation, is highly desirable and advantageous.

That's why this course provides you with a bit of everything. It's a high-quality and broad-based coverage of multi-disciplinary engineering.

And when you successfully complete this three-year course you'll have guaranteed entry into ECU's Master of Engineering course, where you can develop a specialisation, building on this strong multi-disciplinary knowledge base.

Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) level

This course has been accredited by ECU as an AQF Level 7 Bachelor Degree Award.

Entry requirements
