Overview

The Bachelor of Engineering program with majors in Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or Telecommunications Engineering trains engineers for exciting and successful careers as system designers and developers, engineering managers, analysts, educators and researchers. This program prepares graduates to be globally recognised professional engineers with the requisite knowledge, skills and attributes to further develop in their chosen careers. They will have the capacity to effectively lead and contribute to the advancement of engineering, technology and commerce. This program is designed to provide the basic theoretical background required by professional engineers as well as experience in working in teams and the ability to manage the process of designing and developing engineering solutions to address real world problems.

Course Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of the Bachelor of Engineering program, students will be able to:

Demonstrate the ability to discern, interpret and evaluate information, and apply their learning in order to make decisions and articulate logical responses.
Apply the acquired knowledge to practical life problems and adopt a professional and ethical approach to decision making and related social responsibilities.
Use all forms of expression to clearly and confidently communicate knowledge to others, appropriate to the context.
Acquire the ability to function effectively as part of a team to accomplish a set of common goals and objectives.
Initiate research and projects, and apply problem solving and critical thinking strategies to solve problems.
Identify the strengths of individuals, societies and cultures that are both similar and dissimilar from one’s own, with a professional view to improving existing relationships between community networks, workplaces and organisations.
Demonstrate the ability to effectively gather, critically analyse, evaluate and interpret qualitative and quantitative information using computer technology.
Initiate and apply problem-solving and critical thinking strategies to research, projects and organisational problems, including ethical dilemmas and accept responsibility for the solutions delivered.
Demonstrate a sense of social commitment, responsibility and concern; feeling empowered to apply learning and show respect for citizens’ rights to everyday situations.
