- In the modern engineering environment, large-scale engineering projects are increasingly likely to be of a highly multi-disciplinary nature, requiring engineers from diverse backgrounds to be able to work effectively as a team to deliver the outcomes.
- In such environments, a broader understanding of engineering, beyond one specific area of specialisation, is highly desirable and advantageous.
- Developing such breadth in four-year engineering courses is a challenge as it compromises the level of specialist knowledge that is also required from a graduate engineer.
- Successful completion of this three-year program guarantees entry into ECU's Master of Engineering course, affording the opportunity to develop a chosen discipline specialisation building on this strong multi-disciplinary knowledge base.
