Program Overview

Diploma in Engineering
The Diploma in Engineering is designed to engage, and further prepare you for, tertiary study in Engineering / Engineering Science, developing core skills in mathematical and physics knowledge and skills. The Diploma incorporates units equivalent to the first year of the Bachelor of Engineering or Bachelor of Engineering Science degrees.

Students successfully completing the Diploma in Engineering will be granted entry into the second year of a Bachelor of Engineering Science course at Western Sydney University.

Leading to Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)
The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) program is designed for students with interests in learning to address humanity’s issues and challenges through the development and deployment of technical solutions.

This program spans all major engineering domains and prioritises industry relevance via an emphasis on work integrated learning to ensure students are career-ready on graduation. In addition to becoming technical experts in their chosen field of specialisation, students are also challenged to become collaborative and innovative problem solvers with an appreciation for the importance of sustainability and global citizenship.

Major: Materials Engineering
Since the dawning of mankind an understanding of how materials can be obtained and used has been critical to successful human endeavour. Materials engineers are concerned with the highly technological and dynamic process of understanding, developing, and applying materials (metals, polymers, ceramics, composites) to a range of engineering problems. Students will develop skills necessary to synthesise relevant information so that they can be effective decision makers in a materials context. These skills will serve them well in varied career opportunities associated with biomedical devices, nanotechnology, advanced manufacturing, opto-electronics, energy, aerospace, and sustainable construction.
