Do you want to make solar energy more efficient, create new technology in robotics or even develop materials to support the growth of human cells? This is the degree for you!

The ANU Bachelor of Engineering boasts many unique characteristics, but best of all, it is built on a 'multidisciplinary systems' approach. What does that mean? Successful engineers need to understand how disciplines work together. Our state-of-the-art education experience ensures that you will be able to design, analyse and manage the complex systems of the future.

This exceptional degree will not only allow you to excel in your career, but to also make a real difference and help to solve some of the world's largest problems.

An undergraduate degree offered by the ANU College of Asia and the Pacific

Australia is increasingly looking to Asia - strategically, economically, politically, and culturally - and all eyes are on the graduates of tomorrow to take us there. Watch our video to find out how this degree will prepare you for a successful career in the Asian Century.

With a Bachelor of Asian Studies you will master an Asian language, acquire in-depth contextual knowledge, and graduate with the kind of Asian literacy that gets you noticed by employers.

And if you love adventure, we offer you a variety of study opportunities in the region so you can experience Asia first hand. Plus we’ll provide you with funding to help get you there.

Employment Opportunities

After graduation you can work as an accredited engineer.

Careers in engineering are diverse and engineers are in high demand in Australia and overseas. As an ANU graduate with a systems engineering background, you will bring extra value to future employers.

The skills and abilities you gain while studying are highly sought after in engineering companies and across many other professions and organisations.

Because of our unique systems engineering approach, many of our graduates progress to senior management roles due to their skills and knowledge in more than one engineering discipline.

For this reason engineering at ANU is often considered a springboard into the wider corporate world.

Our graduates work in many organisations including:

• Toyota
• Telstra
• Qantas
• Accenture
• IBM
• Northrop Consulting Engineers
• Department of Defence
• Energy Australia
• GHD
• CEA Technologies
• Cochlear Limited

Honours

Students must formally enrol in ENGN4100 Engineering Honours at the commencement of their intended final semester.

Honours grades in the BE degree are awarded by the Research School of Engineering on the basis of a recommendation from the Director of the Research School Engineering. They may be awarded with first class honours; second class honours, division A; or second class honours, division B.

The awarding of honours in engineering is based on meritorious performance over the entire four-year program. The assessment of meritorious performance includes the calculation of a weighted average percentage mark (APM). The APM is calculated using four clusters of courses, which are defined and weighted as follows:

Science and Engineering Foundations (0.1 weighting): ENGN1211, ENGN1215, COMP1110 or 1730, MATH1013 or 1115, MATH1014 or 1116 and PHYS1101.

Engineering Fundamentals (0.2 weighting): ENGN1217,1218,2217,2218, 2219 and ENGN2000-series electives.

Professional Core (0.3 weighting): ENGN2225,2226, 3200*,3221, 3230 and 4221 (*not compulsory).

Engineering Discipline (0.4 weighting): ENGN3000-series and 4000-series electives, and ENGN4200.
