Program Overview

Draw on your love for critical thinking and become an innovative problem solver for a brighter tomorrow with UC’s highly respected Bachelor of Engineering (Honours). Over four years, you’ll gain knowledge, skills and experience and specialise in Intelligent Robotics or Network Engineering.

• Intelligent Robotics – Build your expertise in the exciting world of robotics and smart machines. You'll gain a comprehensive understanding of the control and dynamics of machines, industrial robotics, algorithms, smart engineering and more.
• Network Engineering – gain in-depth knowledge and skills in designing, developing and operating software-based networked systems, including mobile and wireless data communications networks, network security applications and services relating to cloud computing, big data and multimedia networks.

Study a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) at UC and you will:

• Gain the knowledge and skills that are highly desirable within a future-proof industry
• Work with the latest computer-aided software
• Learn how to design systems from the ground up
• Become proficient in engineering research, design and management
• Participate in numerous Work Integrated Learning (WIL) opportunities and share your own ideas during site visits and fieldwork
• Learn professional ideologies such as professional ethics, expectations and teamwork
• Choose to specialise in either Intelligent Robotics or Network Engineering
• Be able to participate in the Engineers without Borders Challenge
• Gain unrivalled access to industry and government stakeholders and build extensive professional networks
• Earn a globally recognised and in-demand qualification

Work Integrated Learning (WIL)
WIL is an integral component of the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) course, offering students the opportunity to gain valuable hands-on experience and build professional relationships through real work, or work-like placements.

Students will also be invited to participate in the Engineers without Borders Challenge, a humanitarian-focused activity offered to engineering students across Australia. 

To ensure our students have access to the right people and places, UC works hard to foster close industry connections and regularly engages with industry partners who possess both the skills and experience to provide specialised knowledge and training opportunities.

All course content is reviewed annually by our Course Advisory Group, which comprises a panel of highly qualified and respected industry experts..

Specialist Major: Intelligent Robotics
The integration of robotic systems with artificial intelligence (AI) will produce a new generation of workers and companions; it is no longer the "stuff" of science fiction, but rather a scientific reality! This niche major in Intelligent Robotics will exploit the synergies between these two areas. The major will offer a grounding in intelligent systems and the chance to apply theoretical knowledge in a practical setting. The students will have the opportunity to have an intensive, extended work-integrated learning experience, in addition to the capstone project, which will allow them to hone their practical expertise in AI and robotics engineering. With access to humanoid robots, robotic arms, mobile robotic platforms and other technology, the graduates will develop the specialist knowledge and skills demanded by employers in the fast-growing AI and robotic industries, which is also relevant to the wider range of applications needing automation and artificial intelligence, including autonomous and mechatronic systems in manufacturing and healthcare.
