The future presents significant challenges for managing the environment, infrastructure and technological developments. Effective solutions to these challenges will require innovative engineering, applied science and design strategies. At Western Sydney University, we prepare our students to take on those challenges and succeed. The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) degree covers all major engineering domains, and you can experience many facets of engineering before deciding your area of specialisation at the end of your first year.

Construction Engineering As a graduate of the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) key program in Construction career opportunities include: working in the fields of construction, structural design and project management. You may work in the private or public sector on projects covering roads, bridges, airports, and residential and commercial buildings. Electrical Engineering As a graduate of the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours), with a key program in Electrical Engineering, career opportunities include: working in communications, electromagnetics, power and energy systems, public utilities, telecommunications, manufacturing, electrical systems and renewable energy systems. Mechanical Engineering Mechanical engineering is one of the longest standing of the engineering disciplines. As such, employment prospects are likely to remain strong in the long term for our graduates. Career opportunities include working in industries such as the mining industry; biomedical applications; building services; energy generation and conservation; manufacturing; transportation; and aerospace. You may focus on design and development, process control and management, or service and maintenance. Robotic and Mechatronic Engineering As a graduate of the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) with a key program in Robotics and Mechatronics you will have professional skills and knowledge in specialisations of great demand. As a Robotic and Mechatronic Engineer, you could work on designing, developing and controlling automated machinery, designing mechanical equipment and systems, and marketing and management. You could work in manufacturing, packaging, materials handling, aerospace and mining. For example, designing manufacturing solutions, processes and equipment, developing robotic devices to solve important health issues in the areas of diagnosis of body malfunction and the improvement of body movements. Civil Engineering As a graduate of the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) with the key program of Civil Engineering, you may work in designing, constructing and managing roads, transportation, airports, water supply, sewerage systems, and large buildings.
