Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)

The Engineering Foundation Year (EFY) is the first year of the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours), designed in consultation with industry to provide the fundamental concepts and skills required by all engineering fields. It includes interactive lectures, small group tutorials and workshops, hands-on physical and computer laboratory work, team-based design and simulation projects, portfolio development, and engagement with industry representatives. It also allows you to explore the various engineering fields before choosing your major.

There are 11 engineering majors available: Chemical Engineering, Civil and Construction Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Energy Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Industrial and Systems Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronic Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering, Mining Engineering, and Software Systems Engineering.

Yes, Curtin's Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) is accredited by Engineers Australia (EA) and recognised internationally. Curtin proactively seeks course accreditation by EA, ensuring that graduates have professional recognition in Australia and by international signatories to the Washington Accord. Note that several majors are recently established courses that are seeking provisional accreditation.

To graduate with a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours), you must complete at least 450 hours or equivalent of Engagement with Professional Practice (EPP). You can fulfil the EPP requirement through appropriate work experience, co-curricular activities and curricular experiences, including paid and voluntary work placements, university-based industry projects, extracurricular technical lectures and workshops, and industry site visits in Australia or overseas.

Yes, you can extend your expertise and career opportunities by combining your Engineering degree with a choice of degrees from across Science, Business and Law. Available combinations include Chemical Engineering and Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Extractive Metallurgy, Civil and Construction Engineering and Mining Engineering and Commerce (several major combinations available), Engineering and Innovation (several major combinations available), and Engineering and Science (several major combinations available).
