Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Major) and Diploma of Project Management

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) and Diploma of Project Management prepares you for a career as an engineer skilled in high-level engineering designs and managing engineering projects including project planning, stakeholder management, risk management, strategy, resource management, project control, procurement management and execution. This course has a strong focus on learning in context so you will apply theory to authentic scenarios throughout your studies.

You will develop skills in problem solving, teamwork and professional practice and will undertake an authentic industry project with work-integrated learning. Your studies will equip you with in-depth discipline-specific technical knowledge and skills and build on your project management skills.

You will complete three project units where you will work on authentic projects and apply your project management knowledge and skills to deliver them on time. In addition to this, you will complete a major individual project, sometimes with an industry mentor, that integrates both your engineering skills and project management skills to confirm your ability to work as an engineer and a project management specialist.
