What is the difference between engineering and engineering science?
An engineering science degree includes courses and practical experience in real-world environments that qualify you as an Engineering Technologist with Engineers Australia. A Bachelor of Science in Engineering (or equivalent) will take you approximately 3 years to complete as a full-time student. With a focus on introducing you to core engineering and built environment concepts, along with work experience as a technologist, you will gain the relevant qualifications to work in a variety of engineering science settings and roles.
You can use your Bachelor of Engineering Science degree as a stepping-stone into the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) and receive the appropriate credit.
A Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) at UniSQ is a 4-year undergraduate degree and includes research methodologies courses and research projects. Students will undertake four practical courses as well as work experience at a professional engineering level. After graduating with a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours), students can qualify for membership as a professional engineer with Engineers Australia.
At UniSQ we have six different Bachelor of Engineering Science majors to choose from:
Agricultural Engineering – Learn coursework linked to our world-class research facilities all while developing highly practical, industry relevant skills.
Civil Engineering – Understand the fundamentals of infrastructure design, planning, development, construction, operation and maintenance with hands-on practical courses and professional equipment.
Electrical & Electronic Engineering – Gain a thorough understanding of electrical theory, digital and analogue technologies, electrical plant and measurement principles – all of which can be applied to a broad range of field applications.
Environmental Engineering – Create positive change for the environment and your community by learning about sustainable engineering and the fundamentals of environmental conservation and rehabilitation.
Infrastructure Management Engineering – Expand on your career prospects by pairing engineering construction and management with another complimentary study area such as law and finance, construction technology and engineering.
Mechanical Engineering - Design the newest in modern mechanical innovations in the automotive, aeronautical, building, power, manufacturing and public utility industries and gain the practical skills to develop and manufacture efficient, economical and reliable machinery.
