This course is suitable for students who do not achieve the entrance requirements for the Bachelor of Engineering, but who aspire to have a career in an engineering-related area. Students may also use this course as a pathway into the Bachelor of Engineering courses.
This course information may be updated and amended immediately prior to semester. To ensure you have the correct outline, please check it again at the beginning of semester. In particular please check the course requirements and the unit and unit set offerings, as these differ according to course delivery location.
Students must undertake a Technology Practicum, which requires 8 weeks of approved work experience.
Academic admission standard for the following entry pathways:
It is desirable that all students have WACE Mathematics 3A/3B, with equivalents considered. Alternatively students can complete a bridging unit during the first year of their studies if they have not passed WACE Mathematics 3A/3B.
Bunbury applicants please note: There is an option to study up to eight foundation units from this degree at ECU's South West (Bunbury) campus. After completing these eight units, Bunbury students will need to attend ECU's Joondalup campus to complete the rest of their course. The entire program can also be studied at ECU's Joondalup campus.
