• Course description arrow_forward_ios

  This course is ideal for those aiming to collaborate with professional engineers, offering a comprehensive STEM overview through majors such as Flexible Engineering or Engineering and Technology Studies. It's particularly beneficial for those with vocational backgrounds who wish to specialise, without the need for Engineering Australia accreditation.

  Choose this course for a pragmatic approach to engineering education, equipping you with essential technologist-level skills without the depth required for full professional engineering qualifications. It stands out by providing flexibility to tailor your learning to specific technology fields, enhancing your career prospects in a variety of para-professional engineering roles, depending on your chosen specialisation.

  You will gain a broad understanding of STEM principles, practical skills in advanced manufacturing technologies, and the ability to integrate into multidisciplinary engineering teams.

  Teaching methods are interactive and applied, focusing on real-world scenarios to bridge theory and practice. You'll engage in collaborative projects, case studies, and practical sessions that reflect current industry standards, ensuring your learning is relevant and immediately applicable in professional settings.

  The course provides students with the skills required at an engineering technologist level – and hence the ability to work with professional engineers – without developing full professional engineering competencies.

  It is intended for students who require a broad overview of STEM knowledge via the "Flexible Engineering" or "Engineering and Technology Studies" majors; and to specialise in a field of technology, for example, students with prior vocational qualifications may choose the Advanced Manufacturing major to learn the latest industry 4.0 manufacturing technologies, without meeting the requirement for Engineering Australia professional accreditation.

• Year 12 adjustment factor scheme arrow_forward_ios

  If you perform highly in your Year 12 subjects, your selection rank may be boosted by the Year 12 subject scheme.

  The scheme, which is automatically applied, awards selection rank adjustments to your application based on your marks in subjects that are relevant to the courses you have applied to.

• ATAR and selection ranks arrow_forward_ios

  Your Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) is a score between 0.00 and 99.95. It shows you how you rank compared to all the students in your year group in New South Wales. A selection rank combines your ATAR with any other adjustment points that make up your overall university entrance score. Your selection rank may differ from university to university, depending on the adjustment points granted to you at each institution.

• Transdisciplinary Electives at UTS arrow_forward_ios

  Employers tell us the skills our graduates acquire from undertaking a Transdisciplinary Elective sets them apart from the crowd. That’s why we have embedded this program into every undergraduate degree.

  All you need to do is choose the Elective that inspires you the most.

  Transdisciplinary Electives integrate knowledge from multiple disciplines, allowing you to approach complex problems from a range of perspectives.

  By combining methods and insights from various disciplines, transdisciplinary learning often leads to breakthrough ideas and creative innovations that may not be possible within the confines of a single discipline.

  If you find yourself rapt by the world of innovation – you can pair your core degree with a Diploma in Innovation, graduating with two qualifications in the same timeframe. 

  In both instances, you’ll work on a real-world challenge presented by an industry partner organisation – partners who often create career pathways for our graduates.

  * Excludes students concurrently enrolled in the Bachelor of Creative Intelligence and Innovation.

• Course duration arrow_forward_ios

  This course is offered on a three-year, full-time or six-year, part-time basis.

• Admission requirements arrow_forward_ios
