Engineering Science major
Engineering is the creative application of science and mathematics to design solutions for global challenges. From building the world's largest structures to its smallest electronic devices, from moving people across the globe to sustaining their local environment, engineering affects every aspect of our lives. Successful completion of this major prepares you for further study in the Master of Professional Engineering, leading to professional accreditation as an engineer. Students who choose to become an engineer work with others to understand social needs and create solutions that are delivered on time, safely and within budget.
Outcomes
Students are able to (1) apply the natural and physical sciences applicable to the broad engineering discipline; (2) apply the mathematical, numerical, statistical and computational sciences that underpin the broad engineering discipline; (3) explain the ethical, social, environmental, and financial accountabilities, opportunities and constraints of contemporary engineering practice; (4) demonstrate effective team membership and team leadership; (5) communicate effectively in oral and written formats in professional and lay domains; and (6) demonstrate a strong grounding in discipline-specific sciences and design principles including their practical implementation.
Broadening guidelines
All students studying towards a Bachelor's Degree at UWA are required to Broaden their studies by completing a minimum of four units (24 points) of study outside their degree specific major. Broadening is your opportunity to explore other areas of interest, investigate new disciplines and knowledge paradigms and to shape your degree to suit your own aspirations and interests. Many of you will be able to undertake more than this minimum amount of broadening study and we encourage you to do so if this suits your aspirations. Over the next few months you will find here some broadening suggestions related to your degree-specific major. While we know that many students value guidance of this sort, these are only suggestions and students should not lose sight of the opportunity to explore that is afforded by your Broadening Choices. Advice can also be sought from your Allocated Student Advising Office.
Prerequisites
Mathematics Specialist ATAR, Mathematics Methods ATAR, Chemistry ATAR and Physics ATAR OR Mathematics Methods ATAR with additional specified bridging units taken in the first year depending on the number of missing prerequisites.

Choosing your degree-specific major
Specialised degrees – Bachelor of Advanced Computer Science (Honours), Bachelor of Automation and Robotics, Bachelor of Environmental Design, Bachelor of Music
You must satisfy the requirements of the degree-specific major in your degree before you complete your course. (You have the choice to either nominate your degree-specific major when you first enrol in the course or delay nominating it until your second year.)
Bachelor of Philosophy, Politics and Economics
This comprehensive degree does not require you to choose a degree-specific major.
General degrees
You must satisfy the requirements of a degree-specific major before you complete your course. The flexible structure of an undergraduate course allows you to try out a number of different subjects to see what interests you before nominating your degree-specific major. You have the choice to either nominate your degree-specific major when you first enrol in the course or delay nominating it until your second year.
To plan the first year of your study without nominating a degree-specific major, you are advised to choose units that will pave the way to two or more degree-specific majors that are of interest to you. For examples of the choice of units available in first year, search the first-year study plans .
To fully understand the structure of an undergraduate course, read the course structure information and the Undergraduate Degree Course Rules.
The following example illustrates how the Engineering Science degree-specific major can be included in the Bachelor of Science course.
Important information about the Engineering Science Study Plans
This study plan has been designed to allow you to complete the Engineering Science major and a second major within three years. In order to do this, you may need to complete some Level 2 units in Year 1 and some Level 3 units in Year 2. The plan takes into account all prerequisites for the engineering science units.
Note to re-enrolling students: In 2017 the Engineering Science major was extended to include 14 units. Students who commenced the Engineering Science major in 2016 or earlier and who wish to complete according to the old rules for the major, please see the recommended study guides in the
2016 Handbook. Alternatively, please contact the
EMS Student Office for advice.
There are more choices open to you. For more examples, search the study plans .
Choosing a second major
You also have the option to choose a second major from those available in the Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Biomedical Science, Bachelor of Commerce, Bachelor of Design Only available to re-enrolling students. and Bachelor of Science courses, giving you the opportunity to pursue your interests no matter how different they are.
The following example illustrates how the Engineering Science degree-specific major can be combined with a second major in the Bachelor of Science course.
Important information about the Engineering Science Study Plans
This study plan has been designed to allow you to complete the Engineering Science major and a second major within three years. In order to do this, you may need to complete some Level 2 units in Year 1 and some Level 3 units in Year 2. The plan takes into account all prerequisites for the engineering science units.
