Curtin’s Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) offers you an industry-connected education experience in which you will learn how to devise engineering solutions for complex societal and industry challenges.
Your study will begin with the Engineering Foundation Year (EFY). You'll learn the fundamental concepts and develop the required skills common to all areas of engineering – giving you the opportunity to explore our range of engineering disciplines before choosing the major that you'll focus on from your second year.
What you'll learn
Demonstrate a conceptual understanding of applied science, computing, and engineering.
Use underpinning science, engineering, and sustainability principles to solve complex social and industrial challenges.
Design and implement engineering solutions in a safe, ethical, legal, professional, and through respectful partnerships with local First Peoples and other diverse cultures as globally responsible citizens.
Assess the available scientific and engineering knowledge and undertake applied research in the broad engineering field.
Employ the technologies and knowledge to develop and communicate effective and innovative engineering solutions to complex problems.
Develop lifelong learning habits, teamwork and leadership abilities, and project management skills.
Learn how to design and optimise complex industrial systems and processes.
Industrial and systems engineers design, install and improve systems that integrate people, materials, equipment, energy, information and finance – all while ensuring that quality, safety, environment and human needs are met. They utilise engineering management techniques with the principles and methods of engineering design and analysis to evaluate and predict the results of change.
Industrial and systems engineers are also key members of teams responsible for timing, costing, layouts, process flows, equipment requirements, plant operations and whole systems – including manufacturing facilities, supply chains, transportation networks and warehouses.
This engineering major incorporates units from engineering, sustainability, management and industrial mathematics.
You will gain specialised theoretical knowledge and practical foundations in engineering design, manufacturing, quality, systems engineering, control, operations research, practice and management, modelling, simulation and optimisation of industrial processes.
Graduates are frontline engineers for the rapid expansion from basic time and motion analysis to digitised automation of operations, maintenance, production monitoring, driverless trucks and unmanned aerial vehicles.
