Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Major) and Diploma of Project Management

CQUniversity's Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) and Diploma of Project Management will lead you towards a rewarding career as a professional engineering skilled in high-level engineering designs and managing engineering projects including project planning, stakeholder management, risk management, strategy, resource management, project control, procurement management and execution. 

The double degree of Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) and Diploma of Project Management aims to produce an engineer skilled in both high-level engineering designs and managing engineering projects including project planning, stakeholder management, risk management, strategy, resource management, project control, procurement management and execution. This course has a strong focus on learning in context and sustainable development so you will apply theory to authentic scenarios throughout your course.

In your first year, you will develop skills in problem solving, teamwork and professional practice together with learning foundational technical content. In Term 2 of Year 1, you will undertake an authentic industry project with work-integrated learning. In the second year, you will gain in-depth discipline-specific technical knowledge and skills and build on your project management skills. In the third, fourth and fifth years of your course, you will develop a deeper understanding of the foundation knowledge that you gained in the first and second years. You will also complete three project units where you will work on authentic projects and apply your project management knowledge and skills to deliver them on time.

Finally, you will complete a major individual project, sometimes with an industry mentor, that integrates both your engineering skills and project management skills to confirm your ability to work as an engineer and a project management specialist.

Career Opportunities

As a professional engineer you can be a driver of change in society and be not only responsible for technological change, but also the impact it has on communities, society and the environment in general. Professional engineers work with people, they listen, then set about solving problems for people and communities. This course provides a unique opportunity to become an engineer with high-level engineering planning and design skills complemented by project management skills including project planning, stakeholder management, risk management, strategy, resource management, project control and execution as well as procurement management.

• Civil engineers are typically involved in planning design and maintenance of physical infrastructure systems including the construction of buildings and bridges, transport and water resource systems, sewage and industrial waste systems, harbours and railways.
