With hands-on learning embedded from your first year, you'll graduate ready to make your mark across industries, transforming how the world lives, works and connects. Highlights of studying the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) / Bachelor of Computer Science Solve real industry problems through practical engineering projects, app development, systems design and computing challenges from year one. Specialise in your chosen engineering field and complement it with advanced skills in AI, data science, algorithms or computing. Build strong professional networks through industry placements, global mobility opportunities, collaborative research, student clubs and Griffith's active engineering and tech communities. Gain experience through work-integrated learning, including major final-year capstone projects and placements with local and global partners. Access world-class facilities including engineering labs, robotics spaces and the Griffith App Factory, where you can work with real clients and develop a strong professional portfolio. Graduate with two in-demand qualifications recognised by industry, including Engineers Australia accreditation. Hands-on learning across two disciplines In engineering, you'll apply theory to practical projects, work in purpose-built facilities and collaborate through placements, research experiences and the Industry Affiliates Program. Whether you're interested in renewable energy, the development of smart systems or emerging technologies, you'll learn by doing every step of the way. In computer science, you'll build confidence in programming, software engineering, AI, algorithms, machine learning, big data and intelligent systems. You'll tackle complex problems using modelling, design thinking and creative computational solutions, while developing the technical foundations needed to succeed in one of the world's fastest-growing industries. Majors Engineering majors Electrical and Electronic Engineering: The key role of an electrical and electronic engineer is to drive the development and application of emerging technologies, particularly in the fast-growing energy sector. These engineers collaborate with a range of professionals across industries, from civil and mechanical engineers to computer scientists. You could help integrate renewable energy into traditional systems, reducing costs, conserving energy and lowering greenhouse gas emissions. Mechanical Engineering: With specialised skills across both electronic and mechanical engineering, mechanical engineers are prepared for work in the design, development and production of smart engineering systems and products. You will find career opportunities across many industries including manufacturing, mining, transport and defence and emerging fields such as medical and assistive technology, smart cities, precision agriculture and robotics. Computer Science majors Algorithms and Computing: With a focus on the design, analysis, and implementation of efficient computational solutions, this major explores advanced programming in C++, deep learning, AI, systems programming and the theoretical foundations of computation. You'll gain the skills to solve complex problems across domains such as cryptography, machine learning and distributed systems. Data Science and Artificial Intelligence: Gain the skills to extract insights from complex data and build intelligent systems that can learn, reason and adapt. Through studies in machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, robotics and big data analytics, you'll learn the tools and techniques to solve real problems across industries using data-driven and AI-powered approaches. Program accreditation Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) is professionally accredited by Engineers Australia . Full listing of accreditation details can be found on the Engineers Australia Accreditation website. The following engineering majors have Full Accreditation. FULL Accreditation: 1585 Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)/Bachelor of Computer Science Electrical and Electronic Engineering Mechanical Engineering Bachelor of Computer Science The Bachelor of Computer Science is professionally accredited by the Australian Computer Society . Full listing of accreditation details can be found on the Australian Computer Society Accreditation website. Attendance information This program is offered full-time on-campus. This program includes compulsory study in Trimester 3. Students who commence in Trimester 2 should note that you will be required to study in Trimester 3 for the first year of the program. If you are an International student on a student visa, you must ensure that you enrol in a way that will allow you to complete your enrolment within the expected program duration as stated on your Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE). The recommended study load for international student in each compulsory trimester is 40CP. Managing Study Interruptions Leave of Absence Taking a leave of absence from this program is permitted, subject to conditions outlined in the Enrolment Procedure . Student story Jake Muggleton Bachelors of Engineering (Honours)/Computer Science "The combination of computer science and engineering appealed to me because I'd like to work in a large-scale agricultural plant, where electrical engineering and computer science can be applied together in innovative ways." Work-integrated learning Engineering (Honours) : An integrated program of exposure to industry practice will be built into the program. Practicing engineers will be directly involved in the learning and teaching process, particularly through involvement with laboratory and tutorial sessions. Staff will draw upon their industry/professional experience in choosing their laboratory activities, their projects and/or case studies and problems. Field trips will enhance awareness of the current industry/professional practice. The final year Professional Practice course provides a WIL experience, integrating technical expertise with the practical issues of professional/industry practice. A co-requisite of this course is the completion of a minimum of 12 weeks (60 days) of approved experience in an engineering practice environment (or a satisfactory alternative). The pinnacle of our work-integrated learning experience is the 30-credit point Industry Affiliates Program (IAP) wherein students will undertake a trimester-long capstone project. Students are encouraged to conduct their IAP-Thesis project in industry and our IAP office will assist in finding placements for students who might have been unable to find their own placement. Total work placement (hours): 408. Computer Science : Students must complete at least 20 credit points of Work Integrated Learning in their fourth year. The Work Integrated Learning course is taken through the Industry Affiliates Program (IAP). The IAP has been designed to integrate students into the workplace through the completion of an industry-based software development project. It is designed to benefit both the student as well as the industry partner. The IAP requires both an industry professional supervisor and an academic supervisor. The maximum workplace attendance requirement will be 3.5 days a week (20 hours) over 12 weeks (that is, 240 hours). The inclusion of work-integrated learning in this degree demonstrates Griffith's commitment to preparing its graduates for success in their working life. Pathways to further study Students completing the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) degree may be eligible to proceed to Higher Degree Research (HDR) study.
