Bachelor of Engineering Science

The Bachelor of Engineering Science offers a range of majors including Advanced Manufacturing, Civil Engineering, Construction Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics & Mechatronics Engineering, and Sustainability Engineering. Students experience many facets of engineering before deciding their area of specialisation at the end of their first year.

Yes. The majors in Advanced Manufacturing, Civil Engineering, Construction Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Robotics & Mechatronics Engineering, and Sustainability Engineering are provisionally accredited by Engineers Australia at the Penrith, Parramatta, and Sydney City campuses (Civil, Electrical, and Mechanical engineering majors only).

Yes. The Bachelor of Engineering Science may be used as a pathway to the four-year Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) degree. It may also be used as a three-year exit program for the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours).

Students undertaking engineering programs at WSU enjoy access to advanced and state-of-the-art facilities, including the Parramatta Engineering Innovation Hub (PEIH) located in the heart of Parramatta with collaboration-focused teaching spaces and a Makerspace, and the Kingswood Advanced Manufacturing Precinct featuring additive manufacturing, 3D printing, and leading edge CNC machining. Makerspaces at both Kingswood and PEIH enable students to access advanced manufacturing equipment to produce their own prototypes and parts.

Yes. As part of this program, students are required to complete a minimum of 300 hours of industrial experience, which helps them emerge with real-world experiences when commencing their professional career. The Advanced Manufacturing major specifically includes a mandatory 300-hour industrial placement as a completion requirement for Engineers Australia accreditation as an engineering technologist. Additionally, the Engineering Summer Placement Program is available for high-achieving students to undertake paid placements.
