  • Course aims
  • Learning outcomes
  • Program of study
  • Combined degrees

Admission requirements

The minimum requirements for consideration for entry to all undergraduate courses are specified in detail in the University Entry Requirements. There are no prerequisites.

Course aims

The course has been designed to provide graduates with:

  • a foundation in both the theoretical and the practical aspects of engineering
  • an awareness of social, economic, cultural and environmental aspects of engineering
  • an ability to critically analyse and evaluate information and solve problems
  • an understanding of professional and ethical responsibilities and a commitment to them
  • well-developed written and oral communication skills
  • structured engineering work experience
  • the ability to work and interact professionally as an individual and as a member of multi-disciplinary teams
  • an understanding of the need to undertake lifelong learning and the capacity to do so

The course provides the foundations that will underpin ongoing professional development, preparing graduates for further study or for a career in an engineering related field or in other areas where the range of skills and knowledge acquired is needed or desirable.

Learning outcomes

On completion of the award, students will be able to:

  • competently use professional skills and knowledge in the systematic development of engineering system
  • apply their skills and knowledge in a professionally responsible manner
  • communicate effectively with other engineers and the wider global community using a wide range of communication technologies
  • work professionally as an individual and in a team
  • understand and describe the processes through which current knowledge was developed
  • develop engineering solutions appropriate to the social, political, international, economic and environmental contexts in which they are applied
  • engage in the process of continuing learning needed to retain the necessary level of professional skills and knowledge

Notes

  1. Students should select topics that are consistent with the specialisation they are planning to select.
  2. ENGR2703 Mechanical Practice Certificate is taught intensively outside of the normal teaching periods. Students must ensure that they are available for this topic.
  3. Variations to these programs of study that are consistent with the specialisations may be agreed with the Course Coordinator. Acceptable variations include, for example, those consistent with one of Flinders University's Bachelor of Engineering awards.
  4. Students entering with SACE Mathematics may, with the permission of the Course Coordinator, substitute another topic for MATH1701 Mathematics Fundamentals A. Students entering with SACE Physics may, with the permission of the Course Coordinator, substitute another topic for PHYS1701 Physics for the Modern World.
  5. Where a student can demonstrate a good knowledge of Mathematics, with the permission of the Course Coordinator, MATH1702 Mathematics Fundamentals B may be replaced by DSGN1102 Design Communication.

Combined degrees

The Bachelor of Engineering Science may also be studied in a combined degree program with another Bachelor degree in the College of Science and Engineering where the combination meets the requirements of the credit transfer policy.
